Thanks, should have searched through the archive first. Must have mistyped
my earlier Google search as I got almost nothing. Many different solutions
of varying complexities on this list for this problem.

What worked for me was deleting the C:\Documents and
Settings\v_boston\Application Data\lyx15 folder, rebooting (for good measure
-- this is Windows, after all), and I was able to run LyX again.

Yes, the problem is caused by a configuration failure's leaving some bad 
files around.


We believe this problem is solved for 1.5.2, due out early next week.

no textclasses found error on WinXP

2007-10-04 Thread Vinnie Boston 
I recently installed Lyx 1.5.1 on a WinXP Pro system, seemed to work fine. I
installed some additional MiKtex packages and was reconfiguring Lyx when the
program froze. After restarting, I am no longer able to run Lyx - I get the
error messaeg:

  TextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! when I try, and Lyx will not
start.

I tried to reinstall Lyx in the hope that this would also reinstall or
reconfigure the textclasses or list, but it didn't work.

Any suggestions on what to do to fix Lyx?

Thanks
