I've run into a weird problem. Until recently LyX was running fine on

disappeared from the menus. I don't know what happened. I ran
reconfigure and from the output I see that the problem is that when
searching for latex, lyx finds the latex and classifies it as unuseable.
I have MikTex installed (and successfully for a while since LyX was
running fine until recently)
What can I do?

You don't by any chance have Cygwin installed, do you? I ran into the
"unusable latex" once because I had both MiKTeX and Cygwin, and the
latex.exe executable that came with Cygwin preceded the MiKTeX
executable on the command path.
If not Cygwin, try searching your machine for all files named latex.exe,
and see if there's an "impostor".
