lyx crashes in Windows 7 64b
Hey, I have been trying to download lyx and keep having problems. The main issue is that lyx opens but has no functionality- If I click on the new document button I get the pink writing area at the top which I can write in with no problem, however all other buttons/menus do not work. Most are in colour so not greyed out, but I cannot do anything with them? Anyone else had this? I have uninstalled, re-installed, several times, set as use for 1 user, set for all users, I have MikTex installed as necessary. If anyone has an idea of how I can provide more info to help diagnose please explain. Cheers Tim
Problem with working directory
Hello-- When I set the working directory to a location where I keep .pdf files for figures, LyX cannot find them. If I set the path explicitly, then all is well. However, this creates problems when I want to share the document with other who must revise all pathnames. Setting the working directory used to work as a way to group files that a document needs, but mysteriously, it has stopped working. I would be very grateful for suggestions on how to fix this. I am using LyX 2.0, but I tried 2.03 and it has the same problem. Many thanks. Tom

Then you can use relative pathnames, which should work. Richard
