Hi!
I also had a similar problem. In my case, if I do not remember wrong, it was not a problem with rights (or not completely), but of
missing files. I would suggest you to do the following. Under "C:\Documents and Settings\<your-username>\Application Data\" or under
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\" there should be a directory called Aspell. Inside that directory there should
be another two: Dictionaries and Personal. The "Personal" directory should contain two files, namely "en.prepl" and "en.pws" (assuming
you are using the English language). If you do not find those files (that was my case), create them: Write "personal_repl-1.1 en 0" as
the first line of "en.prepl" and "personal_ws-1.1 en 0" as the first line of "en.pws".
Hope this is of help!

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Yes, I am running WinXP. I tried running spell checker in LyX as an
administrator without success in adding new words to a dictionary. So
there should not be a conflict with the rights management.
Any other suggestions please?
as "an" administrator... mumble, did you install aspell as the same
administrator? If this does not solve the case I have no other idea...
