you should have the packages installed into MikTex (that is where all my
packages are stored). In Lyx, go to Documents->Settings. In Settings, go to
the bottom of the list on the left side, "Latex Preamble." highlight that
and there should be a big blank box to the right instead of other options.
In this box you write,
\usepackage{packagename}
where packagename is the name of the package you downloaded from CTAN.
Hope this works.
