Dear Petr,
I have no idea how to solve your problem with MikTex.
It seems that the page orientation wrong.
If it is urgent, you can install TexLive for which I have no problem.
You can also ask help on the pstricks list (Graphics with PSTricks
<pstricks@xxxxxxx>) where Herbert Voss has probably some solutions.
Best regards,
Patrice

Patrice,
the contents of geometry.cfg:

%% This is file `geometry.cfg',

%% End of file `geometry.cfg'.
As far as I understand it, it is essentially an empty file. I tried to comment
out also the \endinput line, but the result is the same.
When I delete geometry.cfg from
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\tex\latex\geometry
and refresh FNDB, then during latexing it tries to download and install
geometry package anew:
======================================================================
starting package maintenance...

package repository:

Unfortunately, the package geometry could not be installed.Please check the log
file:
C:/Users/Petr/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/latex.log
======================================================================
... but it fails for some reason. I thought it was because of executing it
without admin privileges, but even running it in a privileged command prompt
did not help.
Renaming the geometry.cfg back to its original name, or uninstalling and
reinstalling the packege again made the compilation error free, but results in
the malformed output... :-(
Huh, I am lost... :-(

Dear Petr,
I upgraded pstricks to be as you (also for powerdot-default.sty that was a
residue in the local directory) and my dvips file is correct.
Could you check what is inside geometry.cfg or try to compile without
geometry.cfg.
I cannot see the dvi with dviout.exe.
Attached are the files I obtain.
Best regards,
Patrice

Patrice,
thanks a lot for your report. I diffed our list of files and found
only the following
differences:
- mine:
geometry.cfg
- Patrice:
geometry.cfg not listed at all
- mine:
pstricks.tex 2016/12/23 v2.71 `PSTricks' (tvz,hv)
- Patrice:
pstricks.tex 2016/09/23 v2.70 `PSTricks' (tvz,hv)
- mine:
pst-fp.tex 2016/12/23 v2.71 `PST-fp' (hv)
- Patrice:
pst-fp.tex 2016/09/23 v2.70 `PST-fp' (hv)
- mine:
powerdot-default.sty 2014/01/01 v1.5 default style (HA)
- Patrice:
powerdot-default.sty 2005/12/10 v1.4 default style (HA)
On your system, a bit older packages are installed, but I am not sure
where the difference my come from. I found a bit strange that on your
system powerdot
1.5 is installed, but powerdot-default.sty from 1.4 was used...
Patrice, were you able to see the DVI correctly? If DVI is OK, maybe
dvips is not working correctly. I have:
C:\>dvips --version
