rh, Thanx for answering, eventhough you didn't give me straight answers (most likely cos my questions were all over the place) I think that having several TeX might be what confuses my lyx.

So other than what I see on screen I have no idea of how my docs look like. at times it says that my printer is not install properly but so far I haven't had any problems printing from any other software.
