have you tried to run xdvi alone from the console? If it is OK, see in the LaTeX log file from the menu View -> LaTeX log file (I don't know exactly, my LyX is in german). The last line could be: Output written on ch7-concl.dvi (2 pages, 5368 bytes). If it is OK, you can see in the file lyxrc.default. Check wheather xdvi is defined or not...

Thanks | for any help. you can make a test like following... 1. export your file into dvi with command File -> Export -> DVI 2. try to run xdvi from the console and open the file.dvi. If it is success, you can try to reconfigure or check lyxrc.default as I sugested above... Regards, Wayan
