Users/developers, I have recently installed version 1.6.3 of Lyx using the standard installer. The installation went smoothly. I have installed on a Windows XP machine, and on a Windows Vista (32 bit) machine. However, I seem to have one problem. If I open my files using the standard double click technique the figures will not open. I get the error: Error converting to loadable format. The figures are EPS, and they all work with version 1.6.1 (which was the last version I used). This problem did not occur in 1.6.1. However, if I open lyx from a command window by using lyx.exe, and then open the files then the diagrams render OK. I have encountered this problem on three different machines, so I am fairly sure that it is not a machine configuration problem. So in short the work around is to change the opening association to lyx.exe and always get a console window. Questions: Has anyone had trouble with this? Is there a fix? Thanks in advance for any help.
