Dear list: This one is solved. As a previous mailing noted:
Yap needs a full path in the preferences (C:\texmf\miktex\bin\yap.exe) Latex needs a full path in the preferences (C:\texmf\miktex\bin\latex.exe) Lyx was not finding either yap.exe or latex.exe with " yap " and "latex $$i" as is the default case. Note: Latex is in my Path ( C:\texmf\miktex\bin ) and works fine with the cygwin-lyx version on the same pc. And...Oddly this procedure is not needed on an identical Win XP Pro PC using the same package!! Many thanks for assistance on this one Rob S
