Hi.
A colleague of mine is using LyX 1.3.6 on Win XP (very recent installation) but he has tried to change menus to swedish and it ended up in a mess. LyX wouldn't start.

I'm now writing from what I remember that he told me.
First he couldn't start LyX. It complained about textclass.lst.
He tried to remove LyX but a new installation didn't change a thing.

He found a textclass.lst file in C:\Document and settings\his_username\ (or something of that kind).

Presumably C:\Documents and Settings\his_username\Application Data\lyx (at least that's where it should be).

He removed it and then LyX at least could start, but now there were not any menus other than File (and one other I think).
Starting with a new LyXdocument didn't change a thing. Still no menues.

That would be consistent (I think) with LyX not being configured correctly.

Now I need some advice about what we can try to do on his computer. I'm not very familiar to debugging misbehaving programs in Windows, so any idea is a good idea.

Did he try Edit->Reconfigure? Does Help->LaTeX Configuration show that LaTeX and at least a minimal core set of document classes have been found?
