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.
