Hi

Well I've just installed the Win32 version and it looks like I have a 
similar problem.  When I do a "View -> dvi" I get an error message 
from Yap (the dvi viewer) saying test.dvi not found.  A test.tex file is 
created in this dir though.  When I manually run latex off the 
command line (had to fix the path but this is probabally just a local 
problem) I end up with a dvi file as expected.  This is file is fine and 
then a  "View -> dvi" will see it.  This is an OK workaround (as is 
using my linux box at home...) so I'll live if I can't fix this problem!

Anyway my best guess is that somehow Lyx isn't running latex 
succesfully.  I've tried going into "edit -> prefences -> outputs -> 
converters",checking the most likely looking one (LaTeX to dvi) and 
sticking in the absolute path to the latex.exe; but no joy.

Himm - I kind of remember that LyX generates an automatic 
inventory of your LaTeX install "LaTeXconfig.lyx".  This exists and 
has spotted a LaTex install.

Well I'm stumped for the moment and I hope you don't mind the 
rambling style - I've been trying whatever as I write & think.

Cheers,

Jim
