Hi Scot and thanks for your email. I'm using version 2.0.6 of LyX on Windows 7. I had recently installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, since I feared that it may have caused the problem I uninstalled it and know I am using Texworks as pdf which is installed by Lyx by default.
Do you have any tips what may cause the problem?
