Good evening,

I am new with Lyx 1.3.7 (French language) under Windows XP Pro installed with the help of the installer thanks. I just not installed Ghostview which seems to have a conflict with Yap when looking to launch DVI.

I use Ghostview and Yap (the version that comes with MiKTeX) on Win XP Pro with no problems. Are you saying that when Yap tries to launch (or tries to open a DVI after launching) it triggers an error message from Ghostview?

My current problem:
I am trying to insert image inside one document:
- one small image of a button inside the document itself,
- one small image of the same button inside a table

for that purpose I use whether insert->graphic or the "insert graphic button" in the tool bar.I have no problem with the LyX document which displays properly the image of the button at the right place. However, when I intend to look at the document launching display->PDF(pdflatex). I got five errors for each image. I have got the same problem with "floating figure" however, it was because of some parameters; but with the current actions, I did not change anything in the parameter box
->First error message

Double subscript.

                                                 &
I treat `x_1_2' essentially like `x_1{}_2'.

->Second, third, fourth error messages

Missing { inserted.

A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.
You might want to delete and/or insert some corrections
so that I will find a matching right brace soon.
(If you're confused by all this, try typing `I}' now.)

->fifth error message

Missing $ inserted.

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

I surveyed the User manual, but did not find the solution.
Any Idea!


Something is causing LaTeX to think that the file name is a mathematical expression misplaced in regular text, which among other things makes it insert a dollar sign (to either start or end an inline formula) and treat the underscores in the file name as if they were subscript operators. As Uwe suggests, about the only way to figure out why this is happening is to see a (minimal) example where it occurs.
