What version of LyX are you using? Your report looks similar to http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7982 which was fixed for 2.0.4: commit 3a3f6c838c2ea88dbe38294f19e35ef9f39d4d2f Author: Enrico Forestieri <for...@lyx.org> Date: Mon May 14 13:08:30 2012 +0200 Backport fix for bug #7982: LyX does not work if working directory a hard disk drive like D:\. In this case, the working dir has already a slash at the end. Appending another one would result in a path ending with a double slash, which has a special meaning when used in TEXINPUTS (all subdirs would be recursively scanned). So, avoid doing that.
