The errors occur because you have some special (in this case invalid) LaTeX-code. You see this when you look in the menu Document->Settings->LaTeX preamble. It is strange that you get this code by creating a new file. The only reason I can think of is that you or another user on your PC (maybe accidentally) saved a special LyX file as default for all new documents. To fix this, open the attached LyX file in LyX and use the menu Document->Settings and press there the button named "Save as Document Defaults". Afterwards close LyX, restart it, create a new file and have a look if it then works. regards Uwe
