OK I installed the latest version (Lyx 1.4.3) but unf i still can't do what i was originally trying to do, and the reason why i upgraded :-( That is view the DraftDVI or DVI. When I try to view the DraftDVI i get an error message: File does not exist: <temp dir>/filename. For some reason, its looking in the temp directory, even though i saved the file to a different directory. I did File | Export | DraftDVI before that. It seemed to execute but i have no idea where it might have placed the generated dvi (it isn't in the directory where the latex is)
If I try View | DVI then I get: An error occurred while running python -tt "../Lyx 1.4.3-5/Resources"
