I'm working on a dissertation with my colleges thesis.cls and I'm having a

will create the DVI fine and everything will look correct but I can't create
a pdf. Also if I use another class like article it will work fine. I'm
using Lyx 1.6.7 on a Windows XP x64 machine. It seems like
the relevant section of the .cls that redefines the \Figure command is here
but I'm not experience enough to make heads or tails of it so any help would
be greatly appreciated. I'm also including the .cls and a test document I
made. I works fine until I place any graphic into the float.

Hi,
The problem is not the definition above. LyX doesn't know about such
custom commands anyway.
The problem is on line 47 of msuthesis.cls:
\RequirePackage[dvips]{graphicx}
Comment it out (put a % in front), or at least remove the [dvips] part,
which loads settings for /a particular driver/ which conflicts with your
use of pdflatex.
Then, it works. Here at least.
