Hi
one more idea: if this is really a PATH problem and things worked
normally under lyx 1.4.1, then I would do the following simple steps
(unless you already tried this and I didn't see it in the earlier
messages):
(a)
Revert to LyX 1.4.1 and open the Preferences dialog to find out EXACTLY
what your PATH setting is in that program.
The path in 1.4.1:
C:\LyX\Python24;C:\LyX\msys\1.0\bin;C:\LyX\texmf\miktex\bin;c:\lyx\gs\gs8.14\bin;C:\LyX\ImageMagick
(b)
Copy that string.
(c)
Re-install LyX 1.4.2 and open the Prefs dialog there to see its PATH
settings. I would strongly suspect that this is somehow different from
1.4.1.
Reinstalled Lyx 1.4.2
Its PATH is:
C:\LyX\Python24;C:\LyX\msys\1.0\bin;C:\LyX\texmf\miktex\bin;c:\lyx\gs\gs8.14\bin;C:\LyX\ImageMagick>>>
(d)>> Enter the previously copied PATH from 1.4.1 into the PATH box in 1.4.2.> The paths are exactly the
same;>>> (e)>> Restart LyX 1.4.2 (just to be safe), and see if the preview works now.>This also
did not work.Thank youLeo
