Troubleshooting Windows Installation unable to find textclass file - Win XP, Lyx 1.6.7

Hi, maybe someone can help me to run Lyx on my Windows XP machine. Installer: LyX-1.6.7-4-Installer.exe After a successful installation I'm unable to start Lyx. I always get the error message that a textclass file was not found. I tried the workaround like described here:

I am guessing one reason why LyX is able to copy and paste cells or tables while retaining the distinction between text and math cells or math within a cell has to do with clipboard locales. My understanding is that the clipboard might retain the copied content in different formats.

I can't answer the context-aware pasting question, but I'll point out that if you paste the math content in as ordinary text, you can highlight it and hit ctrl-M to turn it into a math inset. (This works anywhere in the document, and in both directions -- you can also turn a math inset into plain

Use of Latex's parallel package in LyX?

Paste cells into table with Math

Hi. When I wish to copy results from Matlab into a LyX document I generate a tab-delimited string and then paste it into a LyX table. For example,in Matlab I might have a cell of results like: test = {'A' 'dog' 200; 'B' 'cat' 99.3} which looks like test =    'A'    'dog'    [200]    'B'    'cat'
