Try typing "strace lyx-qtwin.exe" in a cygwin command shell. This often gives useful information. For example, if you are missing a needed dll (shared library), strace may give a popup window explaining what is missing. Of course, this suggestion might not help (depending on what the real problem is), but it is certainly worth a try. You can get similar information with "cygcheck /path/to/lyx-qtwin.exe", and then looking for dll's listed there that might be missing. ...dave case
