I imagine I have some sort of path issue. Do I have to update the path manually, or is there a way to test my MiKTeX install for missing packages, etc.?
Thanks

I assume you installed MiKTeX, as indicated on the native port page (http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/)? You will need this for the native port to work properly, particularly for generating any output.
You should then be able to preview a LyX document by "View, DVI", which should launch the DVI viewer Yap (comes with MiKTeX); after doing this, you can update the DVI preview by selecting "View, Update DVI". You would then print the document directly from Yap.
The native port is excellent; I recently installed it and it was very straightforward, and it works extremely well. I did have to install a few additional MiKTeX packages beyond the basics (geometry, for example, to allow fine tuning of margins on a per-document basis), but this is pretty easy with the MiKTeX update wizard/package manager.

I installed the native Win-32 port, and it went well. Now, I need some tips on what I need to get LyX now to print (presently greyed out) or at the very least export a postscript file (not an option under postscript right now). I was able to create a dvi manually under the command prompt after exporting a latex file, but how would I view this file (or do you process it into a dvi).
Is there any documentation on the native win-32 port?
Thanks
