Strage. What installer have you used? To get a working LyX under Windows,
- open an internet connection
- update MiKTeX using its update manager
- start directly the lyx.exe (or the lyxc.exe in case you have it)
- use the menu Tools->reconfigure
(this is done automatically when you use the alternative LyX installer
for Windows)
Then you should see in LyX's console window that your MiKteX/LaTeX
system is reconfigured. This may take up to 30 minutes, depending on you
internet connection speed.
The image you attached, shows you that you don'tr have the document
class installed to LaTeX that is used by the documentation. While
reconfigurating LyX, all classes and packages needed by LyX are
downloaded and installed to LaTeX.
