Sorry, I wan't clear. UNCHECK it. You're not using it. See here for what InstantPreview is. http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/InstantPreview Trust me, you don't need this to display graphics. > The converter > ist properly listed in the default file.

No, its the fact that the .py file is a script and Windows refuses to know what to do with it. If this message were python C:\Programme\Office\Lyx\bin\lyxpreview2ppm.py C:/Data/Script/6lyxpreview.tex 129 ppm then the script would launch successfully, but would fail internally because you don't have all the things installed on your machine that the script needs to work. -- Angus
