Its hard to help when we don't know what version of mathematica or what
the error messages were. I have experienced similar problems for two
different reasons.
The first is that there are sometimes some symbols in common with global
symbols or that you may have attempted to load it in once, gotten an
error message which then messed up that session. I find that using
Needs[`packagename`] works more reliably than <<packagname.
The second problem occurred on 2.2 after I upgraded to windows95 and the
function which makes a context name into a filename expected the
operating system to truncate the package name to 8.3.
Other things to check: make sure the packages are in the correct
directory. Look at the packages with a text editor to make sure it
isn't corrupt. Also,the code
<<Graphics
should not load in anything. You want the code
<<Graphics`Graphics`
or
<<Graphics`Master`
to load in the package with loglogplot in it.
Finally, make sure you are using the correct symbol for the single
quotes. It is the apostrophe mark(`) on the upper left side of your
keyboard underneath the tilde(~), not the single quote(') underneath the
double quote(") on the right side of your keyboard.
Hope this helps.
