These alternatives handles images a little differently, and LyX knows

Thanks for that. I finally managed this afternoon to try, and it is
easier to manage, certainly: BUT the dvi files I make don't contain the
JPG photographs: that is, the file compiles OK with no errors, and the
correct amount of space is left, but no file is there, just the caption.
PDFs come out fine on the other hand. But the quality of the rest is
much higher on my system using a dvi so I'd prefer to use that...  



Do you have ImageMagick installed (and can LyX find it)?  LyX will need 
to convert a JPG to EPS for use in a DVI file (as Guenter pointed out, 
LaTeX does not grok JPG).  The conversion script LyX uses relies on 
ImageMagick.

Assuming IM is installed and LyX can find it, you might try running

convert mypic.jpg mypic.eps

in the directory where the picture lives, and see if there are any 
issues converting it.
