what happened to AMS article in 1.5.2?
I used to have no problem setting my documents to “article (AMS)” but with 1.5.2 I get an error message saying that the AMS article class layout isn’t usable, probably because a latex class is missing. I would check for the missing class if I knew where to look. How does Lyx know where to find Latex? Also, I heard there’s something you have to do to update MikTex or something.

I would check for the missing class if I knew where to look. At a DOS prompt, run 'kpsewhich amsart.cls'. It should tell you the path to the AMS article class (such as C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.6/tex/latex/amscls/amsart.cls). How does Lyx know where to find Latex? It expects the LaTeX (in this case MikTeX) bin directory to be on either you system command path or the the LyX path prefix (Tools - Preferences - Paths - PATH prefix). If it's not, article (AMS) won't be the only problem; you won't be able to use any classes, and probably won't be able to open the help files. Also, I heard there’s something you have to do to update MikTex or something. I doubt you would need to update MikTeX to use the latest AMS layouts, but it's generally a good idea to run MikTeX's update manager periodically. If kpsewhich finds the AMS article class file, check lyx root\Resources\layouts and make sure that amsart.layout is there. If so, maybe try to reconfigure and restart LyX. /Paul
