Really? It is empty for me with those versions, too, but LyX works perfectly. >>> I used mount -f C: /c (not mount -f C: /cygdrive/c ?) as advised. >> >> Correct.

That's strange, indeed. I get "/cygdrive/c" converted to "/c" when I type it in the text input area in File->Open. Try the following command and see what output it gives: cygpath 'C:\somepath' Does it says "/cygdrive/c/somepath" or "/c/somepath"?

I just tried it without the trailing slash /, and it didn't work. oh...
