Here are a few initial things to check: 1. If you recently upgraded MiKTeX (assuming you're using MiKTeX), you might try running MiKTeX Options - General - Format files - Update Now. This is a long-shot, but it can't hurt. 2. In C:\Program Files\LyX141\Resources\scripts (assuming you installed to the default directory), make sure that lyxpreview2bitmap.py and lyxpreview_tools.py and .pyc are present. 3. Make sure preview.sty is still installed (for instance, by running 'kpsewhich preview.sty' from a command prompt). 4. Create in LyX a document with a single formula (with Instant Preview turned on). While the document is open, use Windows Explorer to take a look into C:\Documents and Settings\your log in id\Local Settings\Temp\lyx_tmpdirwhatever\lyx_tmpbuf0. You should see files with the name 0lyxpreview and extensions .tex, .log, .dvi, etc. If some of the ones I listed are missing, that will tell us something. If they are all there, we can try further experiments to narrow down the problem. HTH, /Paul
