Inside TeXnicCenter, open the ?(Help)-Menue and choose the entry 'Info 
about TeXnicCenter'. You'll find the version number at the top of the 
displayed window.

MiKTeX prints out it version number in the first line of its log-output. 
You should see a line like

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.5)

While 'Version' describes the state of the used TeX-Version, the number 
insides the paranthesises shows the used MiKTeX-Version.

As Karl has mentionend in hist Mail, this depends on the 
output-direction you've chosen before. If you followed the line

LaTeX -> DVI [-> PS [-> PDF]]

eps is the only graphics format, that will be accepted. Therefore it 
might be better to use PDFLaTeX directly

PDFLaTeX -> PDF

which accepts graphics in pdf, jpg and png-format (unfortunately no eps 
and/or tif).
