I'm having some trouble to get LyX working. Whenever I open a document I get
this error message:

"The layout file XXX requested by this document is not usable."

I have run Reconfigure several times ("successfully" as LyX proclaims), also
from the command prompt, reinstalled LyX and Miktex (also different versions)
And now I have tried to use TexLive. That didn't work either.
In my textclass.lst all the classes are marked as "false", so I guess LyX
doesn't recognize any Latex-class. (and I have a full TexLive installation which
was recognized during LyX installation)

Seems that you LyX/LaTeX installation is broken. I recommend to do

1. uninstall TeXLive _completely_
2. uninstall MiKTeX _completely_ (check the registry that there are no 
leftovers)
3. check the path to the former TeXLive and MiKTeX installations is no longer in the Windows environment variable PATH 4. uninstall LyX _completely (check afterwards that there is no folder named "lyx16" somewhere in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings")
5. open an Internet connection
6. reinstall LyX using the complete version of the alternative LyX for Windows 
installer:
   http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller

This installer will install MiKTeX and LyX at once and download needed LaTeX packages automatically from the Internet when LyX is first started.
