HTH Jürgen I checked my backups directory and just my luck, there is no directory listed for backups. I opened up the .lyx file and there is no \end_body or \end_document anywhere in the file. The document ends with “\begin_inset Tabular”. It actually looks like the entire document isn’t even there, possibly ending at chapter 5 (of 8 total plus appendix). I tried to add \end_body and \end_document to the end of the .lyx file but when I open it up now I just get that the file ended unexpectedly, which means that it is probably corrupted.

You are than asked whether you would like to keep the emergency file, and I would suggest to keep it. Wolfgang Unfortunately I cannot even get to the point where I am asked to keep the emergency file. LyX just completely freezes as soon as I try to open up the file. Any other file opens up just fine, it’s only this one. I installed LyX and MikTeX on my Windows machine at school to see if this was a problem isolated to OSX, unfortunately LyX freezes when opening the file on Windows as well (Windows 8.1, LyX 2.1.0). -Steve
