Might not be spam -- maybe one of them can produce a logistic regression model to predict the likelihood of you're getting a PDF file as output. ;-)

I just changed machines and, at first, could not get
LyX 1.4.3-4 to even load.  I tried 1.5 which loaded
nicely but would not give me PDF output.  Removed 1.5
tried using 1.4.3-5.exe. Result : On loading LyX : lyx: Disabling socket
  cont class std::basic_string<char struct std:
char::char_traits ...

Removed and installed from LyXWin143Complete-2-9.exe. Loads okay but no PDF generation. My PDF reader, Foxit Reader loads but nothing is produced.
I have managed to produce a postscript doc and convert
it using Ghostscript.
Could this just be a Foxit problem?

Possible but not entirely likely. Can you load a doc into LyX and then use File->Export->PDF (pdflatex) to generate a PDF output file (in the same directory)? If so, does it load into Foxit (or Acrobat Reader)?

As soon as I
figure out how to reset the Adobe to default pdf
reader I'll try it out.

Regardless of what the OS considers to be the default reader, you can specify a particular reader for LyX to use by going to Tools -> Preferences... -> File formats, selecting a particular version of PDF output (for instance, 'PDF (pdflatex)'), filling the viewer command into the Viewer: field (e.g., 'acrord32'), then clicking Modify and Save.
