Hei! Install the last version of Python, that is, 2.4.1. Download the tex2lyx package from the wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/LatexToLyx). It comes with a lyx2lyx tool that works for sure (maintain tex2lyx files separate from Lyx files!). And then run the lyx2lyx tool using the full path to call python (e.g. C:\tools\Python24\python.exe). This may also help: http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/Tex2LyxInvokedFromLyx
