I have just installed 1.6.6.1 on Windows XP. I found that the Help menu options are mostly broken. Nothing happens when I select Introduction, Tutorial, etc. except on the bottom status line it displays the command. I did a full install including MikTeX. Is this a familiar problem or just me? Any suggestions?
Can you open Help > LaTeX Configuration? If so, are the article class (section 2.1) and the scrbook class (section 3.28) marked 'yes'? (Help > Introduction uses the article class; most if not all of the remaining help files use scrbook, I think.)
If article was not found, then chances are LyX can't see your MiKTeX distribution. If that's the case, try putting the MiKTeX bin directory on your system command path and then reconfigure LyX. If it does see article and scrbook, then something else is up.
