If you have acroread32 set as the viewer for PDF (pdflatex), that would
explain why View->PDF (pdflatex) now calls Acrobat Reader. Otherwise,
it's probably the same phenomenon that causes your car to do strange
things until you get a mechanic to look at it, at which point it
abruptly sobers up and drives straight.
I may have done that in the install, remove install
sequence. How to I find out? I don't see anything
obvious about setting a PDF reader.
Tools -> Preferences ... -> File formats lists all the file formats LyX
recognizes. For each, you can specify a program to display it in the
Viewer: field. (If the program is not on your system command path, you
can either specify a full path here or add the path to it to Tools ->
Preferences ... -> Paths -> PATH prefix.) After adding a viewer, click
Modify and then Save.
Car? What's a car? I ride a bicycle, mind you I still
get strange noises from it but the mechanic usually
can find an expensive cure.
A car is a replacement for a team of horses, the main purposes being to
(a) find a way to consume more expensive fuel and (b) trade methane
exhaust for carbon exhaust. (A side benefit is that cars tend to leak
fluids rather than solids.)
