I have a full version of Miktex 2.5 installed.
MiKTeX 2.5 is no longer supported (since 2 years or so) by the MiKkTeX
developers and thus also not by the LyX for Windows installers.
You need at least MiKTeX 2.7.
Note that you must uninstall 2.5 before, also check the registry that
there are no leftovers from MiKTeX before installing 2.9 (2.5 had some
bugs in this respect).
I propose to do the following:
- uninstall MikTeX 2.5 _completely_
- uninstall LyX _completely_
- open an Internet connection
- install LyX 1.6.7 using the complete version of this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
This will automatically also install MiKTeX and configures it for LyX
(installs all LaTeX-packages LyX supports).
Will lyx2pdf run faster if I use Miktex basic install, which
is much smaller.
What do you mean with lyx2pdf? I don't know such a program. To generate
PDF LyX uses the program pdflatex (or other programs in combination).
All programs have the same speed because no matter how many
LaTeX-packages are installed, only the ones used by a document are procesed.
