No, to be able to reproduce this, can you please provide a
_small_ LyX example file?

If you send me the file, I can try to reproduce it. This is a
known sort of problem, in the sense that I know what kind of thing
can cause this. It's likely a math inset (code 11) that LyX is for
some reason failing to initialize properly.

Well, I tried to file you sent, and it doesn't crash here with 1.6.4svn, 
on Linux.

Trying to strip the file to the bare minimum, I located the line where the

I can reproduce the crash. Can you please report it to our bug tracking system:

Problems with LyX 1.6.3

[Reuven Segev]

Hi,
I downloaded and installed version 1.6.3 (classic rather the alternative
installer) on WinXP64 system (over my previous 1.6.2 version). When I opened
documents, it would not compile them. It generated an empty tex file and issued
an error message about exporting buffer (don't have the exact wording). I tried
to reinstall. Same result. Reinstalled 1.6.2 and it works fine/

Did anybody have a similar experience? Ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Reuven

Installing one version over another is in general problematic on Windows (not only for LyX). But 
when you uninstall LyX 1.6.2 and then install 1.6.3 it should work.

I cannot speak for the standard installer, but as this is possible with my alternative installer, I 
guess that also the standard installer supports this. (There is an option in the uninstaller to keep 
your preferences.)
