Hello there, I have search on the previous posts and I have not found the solution to my problem. However, I'm a new user and may be I didn't search properly or there are other places to search for help. My appologies in advance if I the solution is around and I didn't find it.
I have been using Lyx for two years in two desktops with windows 7 installed. So far, documents are perfectly compatible between these two computers. Now I am travelling and have decided to install the program in an old laptop working with windowsXP. Lyx on the laptop run ok and I could open with the Lyx laptop any file written on the desktops with Lyx but not the other way around: when wrote something in the Lyx laptop, that file couldnt be open with the desktops. I thought there was a problem of compatibility and I decided to reinstall it to see if the new installation solves the compatibility problem. Then, I uninstalled Lyx first and downloaded newly the file to install it. But after the installation program looks for updates in the MiKTeX library, a window pops up saying the has been an error. Specifically, the error message says something like the following: windows API Error 126: can't find the specified module dllName="C:\Archivos de Programa\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex/bin\MiKTeX209-core-PS.dll" After clicking the accept button on the windows error message, the installation goes on but when opening Lyx to use it, windows error messages pop up saying the program is not going to work because it cannot find text types. And when I try to open any new document from the list of pre installed styles, the program complains saying that it cannot find the proper module. Yes, I have notice that there is a / instead of \ in the path describing the location of the dll file. I guess that the instalation program is saying Lyx to find the dll file in a place that is not a well defined directory. Am I right? Is there any solution? Thanks in advance to all the community. I tried to reinstall Lyx again several times but the same error message arises. I have also tried to uninstall Lyx, install MiKTeX first and then install Lyx on top of it. Then, Lyx recognizes that MiKTex is installed, but the same error appears when it looks for MiKTeX updates. If I ask Lyx not to look for MiKTeX updates, the installation finishes withouth sending any error but the error comes up when trying to load any file, even one of the example styles included in Lyx. PS: I am a computer dummy. Please, if you have any suggestion, try to describe it as if you are to explain it to a 10 years old child.
