OK. It's starting now. I think it was a path problem. I renamed the c:\lyx directory to c:\userlyx, deleted all the files there and restarted lyx with c:\lyx14\bin\lyx -userdir c:\userlyx and it running now. Thanks a lot for all the help!!!! It's still not perfect as i can only get the DraftDVI and the pdf view, but not the DVI or ps (python -tt scripts\clean_dvi.py "..." "..."). And I also cannot use BibTex (). If I want to insert a bibtex refence list I get: Script ist fehlgeschlagen = script is aborted (?). But I can export my file is *.tex and produce the ps with correct bibtex references from there.
