Hi Richard, Thank you again for the quick response. I'm running this from a Windows 7 machine. So I opened a command prompt, and ran the LyX executable. LyX opens, but the command completes immediately, and no output is seen. >From a quick google, to try to get this output within LyX I tried View->View Messages, and then setting 'Debug messages' to 'All', and I get this when I right-click->reload on the graphic in my figure: ..\..\src\BufferView.cpp (2850): *** START DRAWING *** ..\..\src\TextMetrics.cpp (2184): main text redraw pit=4 row=0 row_selection=0 full_repaint=1 row_has_changed=0 <snip> ..\..\src\TextMetrics.cpp (2184): main text redraw pit=14 row=0 row_selection=0 full_repaint=1 row_has_changed=0 ..\..\src\BufferView.cpp (2902): *** END DRAWING *** Which doesn't seem to show any error. Any other suggestions of what I could try? Am I doing the right thing in trying to get the console output in the command prompt? Many thanks, Steve
