And this whole mess started when I ended up reinstalling MiKTeX (and installing the latest version) because I was getting errors in LyX about wasy fonts. > Not sure if I answered this already -- I think the virtual dog ate one of my replies. Anyway, at the risk of being redundant ... Open a DOS prompt (anywhere, the directory does not matter) and run 'pdflatex --version'. If MiKTeX spits up some version information, at least we know it is installed. If Windows says it has no clue what 'pdflatex' is, add the MiKTeX bin directory to your system path. (I seem to recall pointing you to the PathEdit utility earlier.) If pdflatex is present (and on your command path), export a small test document (preferably a one-liner using article class) in LaTeX (pdflatex) format, open a DOS prompt in the directory where the .tex file landed, run 'pdflatex <filename>.tex' and report any errors. Maybe that will give clues. Paul
