Paul, I ended up un-installing all of MikTex, ImageMagic and Lyx. And then re-installed using the Windows installer (143/272) from scratch. I did a single MikTex update which installed two updates. And now everything seems to be working as normal again.
I am going to go back to the old "if it aint broke dont fix it" mentality. I am not going to apply updates to working product unless there is a compelling reason to do so. I am very happy with the way LyX is working for me now! :) Thanks for your help on this matter. Too bad we never could figure out where the problem was. Oh well. Kind regards, Ken On 11/1/06, Paul A.

Ok, probably not a file lock issue, and Home being the insecure beast it is, almost surely not a permissions issue. > > I am not sure what to do at this point.

Before doing something that drastic, I suggest one more experiment (also a bit of a long-shot, but at least easy to do). Rename the EPS file to something really short (such as a.eps), change the link in the LyX doc to reflect this, and take another crack. Both your file name and the path to the figure are a bit longish, and there's an outside chance that you're bumping into a length limit in a file name buffer. Groping in the dark as usual, /Paul
