Runaway argument error in IEEE template

Question

I am using the template entitled "Preparation of Papers for IEEE Sponsored Conferences \& Symposia", in the overleaf. I have a figure that I was using in an ACM template, without errors, and I want to use that in this IEEE template:

\begin{figure}[thpb]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=9cm]{figureName.png}
  \caption{Inductance}
  \label{figureName}
\end{figure}

But I am getting the following error (the figure was imported from a previous project):

Runaway argument? width=9cm]{figureName.png}
\caption {Inductance of oscill\ETC. Paragraph ended before \Gin@iii was complete. \par

Can anyone help?

You have a misplaced brace or bracket somewhere, but as you don't show your code .... — Ulrike Fischer, Jan 08 '18 at 20:09
Yes, @Ulrike . I forgot to put the code (edited now in the question). — Dalton Cézane, Jan 09 '18 at 12:44

You get this error if you load graphics (with s) instead of graphicx (with x) and then try to use keyval-syntax:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphics} %<- wrong, should be graphicx
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[thpb]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=9cm]{example-image.png}
  \caption{Inductance}
  \label{figureName}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

gives

Runaway argument?
width=9cm]{example-image.png} \caption {Inductance} \label {figureNam\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \Gin@iii was complete.

Solution: load graphicx.
