Hi Bob, Does this happen every time when you open LyX? LyX does something special (it runs configure.py) when it is opened for the first time, so it will help to figure out if the problem is in that script. What LyX version did you have before you upgraded? Did you also use that version on the same machine, with Windows 7 and the flash drive? Where is your flash drive mounted? Meaning, how do you access a disk that is in there? e.g. E:\ ? Please respond to the list (lyx-users@lists.lyx.org), not to me personally. Best, Scott
