Thanks for the advice. My OS is Windows XP. A search found the file,
article.cls, in
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex\base
and in several other folders. I tried reconfiguring LyX, but the effort
failed. It said, "Default textclass is used but LyX may not be able to
work properly." A second try at reconfiguring gave the same result.
What next?

Yap just displays the document. The error arises earlier in the food chain.
I get an error message
saying that the file 'article.cls' was not found. What should I do?
First, open a terminal or DOS prompt (you didn't specify your OS) and run
'kpsewhich article.cls'. If the response is not a valid file path to
article.cls, then either LaTeX is not installed, your LaTeX installation is
broken, or the LaTeX bin directory is not on your system command path.
If that works, try reconfiguring LyX and see if that helps.
