I think this is a MiKTeX/Windows thing. The problem is this is strange behavior for a fresh install. Did you have an internet connection open when installing MiKTeX? Are you installing with an administrative account? Installing just for you or everyone? The first thing I would do is open an internet connection and 'update' MiKTeX. If there are no updates then I would go to the MiKTeX settings->General and 'Refresh FNDB' and 'Update Formats'. If you have an 'always on' internet connection I would set the 'Package installation' to 'Yes' install packages on-the-fly. If none of this works, I would uninstall MiKTeX and LyX and reinstall with LyX-1.5.4-1-Installer.exe (always helps to reboot Windows between uninstall and reinstall). Be sure you have an open internet connection and just accept the defaults for the installation of MiKTeX, the settings can be changed after install. Cheers, /Bob
