click layout button and navigate to your root drive:\Program Files\LyX
1.6.5\Resources\layouts and choose related layout. In my case it was
svmono.layout
I got another pile of warnings saying I had chosen a layout that was not
part of the system files and that probably my machine would explode - the
last bit is not true.
But what I can't fathom is this. The .layout files are quite clearly part of
the default installation and quite clearly belong to the great swathe of
unavailable classes seen on the documents settings.
A lyx layout file is just a file that describes how a given LaTeX
(svmono.cls) class file behaves. This is needed because LyX relies on
LaTeX to do the output. So what LyX tries to do (but without success, it
seems) is to tell you that you will not be able to produce useful
output.
My guess is that your LaTeX (miktex) installation is broken in some
way. Did you have an active network connection when you installed LyX?
This is needed on windows, so that it downloads all missing stuff for
you.
