Hi, I have recently installed LyX 1.5.3 on a Windows XP system. When i attempt to use pdfLaTeX a pdf file is generated at best very slowly and at worst LyX crashes. This happens for simple text only documents (even un-edited LyX templates take several minutes to produce a pdf). Dvi preview is also very slow and sometimes crashes. I do no think the problem is my computer speed (i am using on an Intel T2300 machine 1.66GHz 980MHz .98GB Ram).
I have spent a couple of hours looking through manuals and FAQ and searched the forums but cannot find what the problem might be. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks, Joel.
