(You might want to search the list archive on GMANE to see replies to that message.) Try the following: * In the Start menu, run the MiKTeX settings application. I'm not on a Win box right now, so I'm working from memory. I think there are two versions (one for administrators, one not). If so, run the admin version just to be safe. * In the first tab, there should be two buttons near the top, labeled something like "Update Formats" and "Refresh FNDB". Do them in that order. I'm not sure you need the second one, but it can't hurt. * Reconfigure and restart LyX and see if things work. * If things still don't work, run "pdflatex file.tex" against your test doc and see if it spits up any meaningful errors (i.e., more meaningful than the one above). BTW, I've used MiKTeX (with LyX) for years on Windows, and have not had a problem with spaces in file paths. Most of my LyX docs reside under "My Documents". Paul
