after another afternoon of fruitless experimenting with both official and alternate installers to fight several bugs I reported here, I just decided to downgrade all W2K and XP machines to the official 1.4.3-5 setup (but leaving all newer-than-installer-version MikTex and ImageMagick packets as is).
I think there is a bug in LyX itself that causes the startup crashes. Did you try the lyxc.exe I mailed you today? It should give more debug output so I can find the cause of the problem.
