As far as I know, I ship a working combination. I can compile  
beamerexample1.tex without problems with pdflatex, though I must add I  
generally have the latest ConTeXt and the LaTeX Updater (maybe needed?)  
installed. It is therefore interesting to find out why it does not work  
for you. Can we have a look at the entire log output?
