Thanks Jürgen. the message was pretty clear indeed - my bad, friday mornings are tough... . The MikTex version that was installed along with lyx apparently didn't download any packages, i had to install MikTex by hand from its website. now it works fine.
Thanks again to Jürgen & Jean-Marc for your time.
