Hi, Janet.
Since it appears that you can generate dvi, ps views of your documentation,
it looks to me that you are most of the way there. There are lots of
little problems running lyx on Windows machines, many of which are covered
here:

Specifically, the acrobat problem is typically caused by spaces in the path
which need to be escaped.

Try running lyx from the command line as
PROMPT> lyx -dbg files
Maybe some of the output will prove useful.
