Hi I am a reasonably experienced LyX user. I have installed MiKTex 2.4 and LyX 1.6 on a new laptop running Windows XP with SP3. LyX works perfectly on my old laptop which is identical. When I install LyX it installs smoothly except it cannot find the aspell6-en dictionary so I have to skip that step. When I start LyX all document classes are marked as unavailable, but if I select one I get the message that it is not usable and a class or style file may not be available. I have tried the obvious and not so obvious stuff like:- - Tools Reconfigure. - Run configure.py, LaTeX found. - Run kpsewhich, finds article.cls. - Check textclass.lst, all false.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both MikTex and Lyx several times, even tried several different versions of each. How do I get LyX to see all the standard document classes, and as an aside, the spell checker to install without error? Thanks Mark
