Well, I am no pro at this, but it appears that ImageMagick was in fact installed on my machine, because deleting the preferences file (as per Bennett Helm's suggestion) fixed the problem. That was all I had to do.

My guess is that the installer script somehow messed up in my case when it converted my 1.3.7 preferences/settings to 1.4.1. I had a couple of problems after conversion, including Instant Preview and this. My advice to anyone with the same setup (Mac OS 10.4.6, LyX 1.3 to 1.4 upgrade) is to reconfigure LyX and to delete the preferences file and reset preferences manually after upgrading. It won't hurt and it might fix a few things.

Well, I'd hope that's not the correct advice! User preferences should be respected on upgrading to a new version. If the installer somehow corrupted the preferences file, that should be fixed.

Is it possible for you to send me copies of your old and new preferences files so that I can try to determine what went wrong?

Thanks.

Bennett
