Well, you have several problems in your file.

* The paragraph style *paragraph* is actually a kind of header, intended  
  as a header for a small paragraph. You have put floats with tables
  inside these headers...

* The Bibtex inset should be put in a *standard* paragraph style.

* You are still using "G:\My Documents..." in the bibtex inset

You should probably read through the Help/Introduction and Help/Tutorial 
again ;-)
