Sorry about that, I used lyx-1.3.6_win32_setup_v1.exe. I also have cygwin previously installed. To satisfy Lyx, I installed MingW alongside.

Does it work when you export the LyX-file to PDF or DVI? Yes I tried exporting to pdf and ps too, same error. Following Georg's suggestion, I'm running it from lyx -dbg info,init right now. Just a simple text, saved, then trying to export to pdf. It's hanging now.. The console output is; Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
