It works now. I had installed the lyx_aspell_dict_en.rar file in Ruurd's directory. It didn't have all the files you had mentioned. I reinstalled the dictionary using the exe file for English in the aspell's webpage and now it works. The file which used was Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe Thanks a lot Rubin

Regarding the run time error, you could try opening a DOS prompt in the lyx\bin directory and starting LyX with the command lyx -dbg 999 which opens a window that might let you see any error messages LyX generates. -- Paul "Sreekumar Bhaskaran-Nair {msbad084}" <Sreekumar.Bhaskaran- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in news:E7EFCDA345F7674EB6523E26F5DFF59B551C12 @E2K3BE.mccombs.utexas.edu: > I have done that.
