Hi Stephen
I uninstalled Lyx and reinstalled it into c:\lyx\lyx14. This solved my
figure problem!!!
Thank you. I can now use 1.4.2

The paths are not supposed to be the same. LyX 1.4.1 did not
install a python directory under LyX. Also the batfiles are
not the same. This usually happens when the preferences
files under c:\documents and settings\yourusername~~~\~
are not deleted during the uninstall. Then the next
version picks up the old preferences and sometimes
doesn't work right. Maybe you have more than just two
copies of LyX installed, 1.4.1 and 1.4.2. You can do
a Windows Search for the filename lyx.exe and see if
if reports more than two instances on your C drive.
Also do a search for "preferences".
Ok. I did not uninstall old versions of Lyx because I'm always worried
about upgrading to a new version when an old one is working fine and not
being able to open older documents with the new versions. So I have in
the Lyx directory four subdirectories Lyx1.3.3, Lyx1.3.5, Lyx1.4.1 and
Lyx1.4.2 that contain the four different installs.
I only have one "preferences" file in .lyx directory though.

C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen\Application Data\LyX
I have a preference file (your^username) and lyxrc.defaults
in this directory. WinXP hides some directories; so your
~\Application Data directory contains no LyX* sub-directory?
I have CygwinLyX1.4.1 and native Windows Lyx1.4.2 both
installed without conflict. In the past I've had trouble
with Cygwin's version of Ghostscript conflicting with the
Windows version of Ghostscript. And when I tried to install
TexLive2005 which is very much like Miktex, I had to fix a
conflict with environmental variables, Texmfdir, I think.
Your files test OK on my system. I think you should try
uninstalling LyX1.4.2 (there is a Cygwin1.4.2 available)
and installing it to the default C:\LyX\lyx14 directory,
it is designed not to conflict with concurrent versions.
Windows doesn't like a dot, . , prefix to directories
and you can't make them in Windows Explorer, just Dos.
If you do, remember to put the system Python installation
at the front of Path_prefix, the local lyx one is tired.
You've noticed the batfiles are different, 141 to 142...
I don't understand what the 142 batfile does well enough
to suggest using the 141 batfile instead of the 142 bat.
SET LC_ALL=en_EN versus SET LANG=en_EN which used to work.
