You can only use EPS or PS files with Beamer if you're using latex  
and dvips (not if you're using pdflatex).  If you want to use an EPS  
file with pdflatex, you may use the (free) script ps2pdf to convert  
it to PDF first.  ps2pdf uses Ghostscript (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/ 
~ghost/) to do the actual conversion; Ghostscript is often installed  
along with a TeX distribution, but I don't know about MiKTeX (I've  
never used it).  Of course, if you have access to Acrobat, that's  
probably the way to go.  See Section 12 (Graphics) in the Beamer  
user's manual for more information.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry...
