Does that fix any problems with 2.0? (If > so, you can do the same trick with 1.6.) That was good hint, thanks a lot. The command line in my case was: Z:\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0> "C:\Program Files\lyx2.0\Python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\LyX2.0\Resources\configure.py" It took a lot longer (something like 10 minutes) than the normal reconfigure does, but now I have my classes in the menu. For LyX 1.6.10 it was much faster (seconds only) and also solved the problem: Z:\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\lyx16>"C:\Program Files\lyx2.0\Python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.10\Resources\configure.py" Let me add that z:, where my user files are, is a mapped network drive. So everything is fine now. Maybe writing to the user directory should become standard for the first configuration and "Tools > Reconfigure"? Matthias
