I went ahead and tried "View -> PDF (ps2pdf)" as well as "View -> PDF (dvipdfm)", and both of these approaches yield only a single blank page of output in the PDF.
When I build via "View -> PDF (pdflatex)" the PDF files that are created in the Lyx Temp directory only have an empty bounding box, so something is being corrupted in the conversion. When I type convert I do not have to specify the path. Though I do notice that the PATH variable has the most recent ImageMagick location listed first (6.5.9), followed by an older ImageMagick install (6.2.9). Could this cause any problems? Though I was still seeing the same error with the 6.2.9 ImageMagick version, so maybe not??? Lastly, I looked at the *.log output in the Lyx Temp directory, and the following warning message is showing up for the EPS to PDF conversions: Package pdftex.def Warning: Option `bb' does not make sense, (pdftex.def) using `viewport' instead on input line 1230. <12C__Documents_and_Settings_tsalamon_My_Documen___nt_Ryan_POF_PoF_09_02_10_Fig ures_slip_scale.pdf, id=164, 614.295pt x 794.97pt> File: 12C__Documents_and_Settings_tsalamon_My_Documen___nt_Ryan_POF_PoF_09_02_1 0_Figures_slip_scale.pdf Graphic file (type pdf) <use 12C__Documents_and_Settings_tsalamon_My_Documen___nt_Ryan_POF_PoF_09_02_10 _Figures_slip_scale.pdf> I did download the latest version Lyx 1.6.5, but ended up seeing the same behavior. Though there is an issue in the installation where the installer isn't able to write a file, and I tell it to simply ignore the error and proceed. The details are earlier in this thread. This applies to version 1.5.7 that is currently installed as well as 1.6.5. Todd
