%\maketitle

There are many different types or variations of LaTeX available, mostly using the same packages, but often in different ways. This leads to a confusion of commands and differing outcomes when rendering documents. For example, some packages use certain fonts, while other packages use different ones. One problem that can occur is that a solution found on the Web fails to work with your version of LaTeX, due to some difference in the implementation or choice of packages. Check that you have all the required packages you think you will need. If not, then there are a number of sites dedicated to LaTeX that have basic and some more esoteric packages available.
