On my system I got the same behaviour with Lyx 1.1.2. I spent much time to
analyze and found that this is due to a fork-error in cygnus environment. I
can live with this 'feature' because I always have a yap window open and
update dvi regularly ;-)

I had the same problems with the 'official' win32-version. So I wrote some
shell-scripts that fix those errors. The problem should be the the call to
cygpath in the original distributed scripts.
Here is a link to my port of lyx 1.1.2:
http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/pub/lyx112.zip
You have to install it on Drive C: under /apps/lyx112, i.e. mkdir
/apps/lyx112, chdir into that directory and unzip the file using pkunzip -d
or any other zip-tool. After that you have to look into following files and
change any path or environment to fit your system:
bin/runlyx.bat (You can make a shortcut on the desktop with lyx.ico to
show :-)
bin/runlyx.sh (I think, no change is good)
external/xdvi
external/gs_ (please rename to gs)
I assume that a path to your Tex/Latex distribution is set into your
autoexec.bat! After this start a shell and execute runconfigure.sh OR start
runconfigure.bat to configure lyx on your system!
Hope this helps!
