This is where an architecture package management by Debian eliminates
much of one's headache.
The dpkg system doesn't throw stuff here and there.

spellchecker working.
For anybody else who may be having problems:
The problem is due to having been a LyX user since 2005 and earlier,
different version installations had installed stuff EVERYWHERE.
In order to have a clean installation I had to uninstall and delete
all
Aspell and lyX folders -from document and settings folder under ALL
THREE
categories: all users, administrator and my own. There was a
strange little
folder titled .lyx that dated 2005 so delete that too.
Also clean out the registry.
THEN use the windows installer. When you reinstall it should tell
you that
you have to download and install dictionary files - which indicates
you have
cleaned out sufficiently.
Cheers!

Before doing this, could you please check if it works this way:
- uninstall LyX 1.5.1 and/or LyX 1.5.2
- uninstall all Aspell dictionaries
- ininstall Aspell itself in case you see it as installed after you
uninstalled the dictionaries
- reinstall LyX 1.5.2 using this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
When this works this installer sets up the system so that your
Aspell will
be uninstalled together
with LyX when you upgrade to another LyX version to assure that
you'll have
a working Aspell version
