I am using Ruurd's win32 Lyx1.3.3 on WinXP. Recently I played around with the converter section under Preferences, and now I cannot view my document in DVI (which should have the option under View/DVI together with other viewers). I have tried many things, re-install lyX, even re-install MiKTeX, but it is still the same. I only have View/pdflatex now, which does not even work!
I had the same problem before with 1.3.2 but with the 1.3.3 no such problem anymore.
try starting lyx with
Lyx -dbg 3
then you will see which files Lyx reads when starting up. Maybe there will be some error messages.
Below is the output from lyx on my computer.
regards,
jorgen
