John,
Did you try updating your format files using the MiKTeX Options program
(General tab, Format files section, Update Now button) and, if so, did
anything on your computer melt?

Arghh! I was afraid I'd forgotten something! Thanks. I just did it.

Is there actually a latex.ltx file in (C:\texmf\tex\latex\base\latex.ltx ?
I think you need to run "initex latex.ltx" from above directory first, if
there is a latex.ltx file located there, and then run Miktex Options Update.
I would also play it safe and run LyX --> Edit --> Reconfigure
even if it may be a very unneeded step, or a devious and subtle riposte.
If for some reason you can't run initex latex.ltx first and then run
latex ltxcheck.tex second and get all Oks, that should narrow the
field of problem causes substantially.
I'll check on "preloaded format", unpacking and latex.dtx
!! No syntax for the current directory could be found
I have both of those directories shown above installed on my computer.
I think the gremlin dongos may have et your latex.ltx,
Stephen
