Hello,
After waiting for a day to look if this list could give me some answers I
contacted a LaTeX guru.
The problem is solved:
LyX generated some faulty babel instructions
Solution:
Export to LaTeX, look at *.tex file with TexNicCenter:
Babel errors: (remove all Babel instructions in first lines, try to build
from TeXnicCenter.
Then adjusted LyX:
1)LyX/Edit/Preferences/Language Options:
Language package: empty (delete usepackage..)
Use Babel: disable
2)LyX/Layout/Document.../Layout/options: english
3)Manually delete *.aux file, now dvi is generated fine
Problem solved. :)
