Sendig more info to the list.... ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Date: Thursday 07 December 2006 9:03 am From: "Van Zyl, Wiehann, Mnr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Vaclav Smidl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi I downloaded and installed MikTex on Windows XP. After that I downloaded the basic installer for Lyx 1.4 and had basically necessary components installed as indicated by the installer wizard, this included the current Miktex 2.5 that was used as the Latex base. Initially I could open Lyx but told me an output could not be generated. I also told me about missing classes which I don't know whether this should be installed using the Miktex package manager? Finally I tried to open some of the templates and which another class was missing and after that gave me a popup to indicate possible software error and that Lyx closed due to unexpected situation. Report was: LyXTextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! and since that I wasn't able to open Lyx again. Should I uninstall Lyx? Is it better to download more Miktex packages? Can you please help me to get going? I ask for your patience as I would like to test Lyx and use it instead of MS-Word for my thesis document. I'm not a software expert. Thanks very much! Wiehann
