Hi, For the record. I spent time investigating the problem with ImageMagick "convert.exe" for W2K. I found a very nice article (which we should keep somewhere on Lyx.org) explaining the problems for MS Windows and 'convert.exe'. Please visit http://savage.net.au/ImageMagick/html/install-convert.html
My problem was that there was a mismatch between the current version of ImageMagick and the quite old version of ghostscript (and ghostview) that I was using. ImageMagick did not neatly trap the error that occured as a result of the version incompatibility, did not provide a useful error message, but it did crash out (ie leaving it to the O.S. to pick up the pieces). I understand that this problem will be fixed in the next release of ImageMagick. So, I solved my problem by installing the latest versions of ghostscript and gsview and ImageMagick and everything has worked fine! Not a LyX problem at all! :) Thanks for help!
