Specifically, LyX is not able anymore to show a preview for certain kind of EPS and other file formats, including EMF. The fix for this issue will be included in version 2.1.2, unless there are explicit requests for including it in 2.1.1, I presume. See http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9146 -- Enrico

Hi Samuel, I've never had this error on my Ubuntu pc, but I imagine as you do that it's related to pdf2eps conversion. On Windows I'm not sure how this is handled but you could try using a different conversion program. Just let LyX what program you want to use. For example, see the related thread here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg99091.html Best, Scott
