Dear Michael,

I do not manage to add an answer to the User's mailing list.
As I told you, I did try what you suggest. I have just reinstalled 
lyx, set the path to latex.tex in MiKTeX and updated MiKTeX in the 
process of lyx installation.
Again, if I access Tools/Tex information in Lyx, I can see article.cls 
and its path, but when I open any file I get the same error...

Any idea of how to solve it? How could I add this message to the 
general mailing list?

Thank you so much for your attention and sorry for bothering you directly.

I am sending this once more to your private account as the user list 
received my comment but did not produce an output.

Have you run > Tools > Reconfigure in Lyx and then restarted LyX?

    Dear colleague,
    I am using Miktex 2.9 5721 and Lyx 2.1.4 in Windows 7.
    When I open a document in lyx, I get the message of article.cls
    and natbib.sty not found.
    However, I followed the instructions in
    http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/LaTeXErrors and I have, therefore,
    installed both packages via Miktex Package Manager.
    Indeed, if I check in Lyx, in Tools/Tex Information, article.cls
    appears with its full path inside Miktex 2.9.

    What else can I do to solve the problem?

    Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Marta,
first, I am using a Linux platform and therefore cannot give you any 
advice re configuring LyX, Tex and associates in Windows.
What do you mean by "...set the path to latex.tex in MikTey..."
But whatever the platform is, when you start Lyx and then  > File > New 
> Document < Settings you should see  the Document Class set by default 
which is 'Article (Standard Class)' at least on a Linux system.
You could then use it or choose another class from the list of available 
document classes.
If you don't see what I said you need the help of people running LyX 
with MS Windows.

Note that I copied the Lyx user list hoping you will get some response 
from Windows users.

Good luck,
Michael
