Does not work The file is there, all 43K of it, but sh configure simply gives me an error message 'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. >If not, try > executing 'latex --version' at the command prompt > and see if you get a > version message.

As an update, I deleted, uninstalled, (and bleached and scrubbed) everything again this morning and reinstalled everything with LyX at c:\LyX . I am still getting the error message that the textclass XX is not found but I now at least can see them in the TeX Information list. All three categories are displaying and I cross-checked as Steven suggest at DOS level to confirm that the files (at least the cls files) are in their directory. I am unable to print. I did manage to export an ASCII file!!. I finally managed to download GSview and it is now refusing to install and giving me the error message: Failed to add PS file association Thanks for all the help. __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
