I just installed LyX on Windows XP using the lyx-143-4.exe installer.

I don't know if it is a bug or config problem on my side. I do have
Python 2.4 installed at C:\Python24.
What happens if you try View->DraftDVI? If that works, the problem is
likely with Python; if not, it is likely with your LaTeX installation
(MikTeX?) or the LyX configuration (or the alignment of the planets).
