Thank you very very much for the bad news! (Just kidding)

Your info is very useful. Seriously. Definetly it is time to renew my
laptop. See you around. Best. Manuel.

They are cheap at the moment (about 500 € for an excellent one with 13 inch
screen) and you then get Win 7 for free on top.

As I wrote, this is not possible. For example MiKTeX (the a LaTeX 
program) does no longer work with WinXP (this is why you get the Win API 
error). other programs that are used by LyX show the same behavior.
You can also not install LyX using an older LyX installer because it 
would try to install LaTeX packages needed by LyX. But as the LaTeX 
programs don't work on WinXP this would fail and LyX would be unusable.


Sorry, WinXP is dead!


PS: Problem is not the price of a Windows 7 update. This I can do. The
problem is that my laptop is 1.5 RAM and I think windows 7 will not run
properly on it.


Theoretically you only need 1 GB RAM but my experience is that one needs 
2 GB. It should be possible to replace the RAM bar in your laptop with 
ones with more size.
You say that you have 1.5 GB RAM. This is strange because that means 
that you have 2 RAM bars, one with 1 GB one with 0.5 GB. This would 
result in low performance if both bars don't have the same size.


In case you cannot change the RAM bars I recommend to buy a new laptop. 
They are cheap at the moment (about 500 € for an excellent one with 13 
inch screen) and you then get Win 7 for free on top.


Of you want to stay with your old laptop, you must switch to Linux. As a 
beginner I would use this Linux distribution:

http://www.linuxmint.com/
in the KDE edition.

Re: Help with arxiv

2016-01-21 Thread Myriam Abramson 

Yes, I've done that. It's in the arxiv instructions. But I still get
the same error: the images are not included.

These act as true and false. So

Provides natbib 1

means the module or whatever does provide natbib. If it was 0, then it
would mean it did not. This might make sense in a module that overrode
something else.

Layout file syntax

2016-01-21 Thread Steve Hnizdur 

Hi

The customisation help file shows the "provides" parameter with the syntax

Provides [string][0,1]

but doesn't say what the 0,1 do. Am I missing something obvious? What do 
the 0,1 do?


Cheers
