Hello
May be you are faced with an long existing error in the 
outputprofiles of TeXNicCenter.
Please check the LaTeX => PDF Profile. Find the entry for arguments
send to the compiler. It should read as
-interaction=nonstopmode "%Wm"
Probably it reads 
-interaction=nonstopmode "%pm"
now which causes the error.
Compare with the other profiles. They all should be ok out of the 
box.
