Hi Scott, Thank you very much. I used 2.0.8 instead of 2.1.3 and the problem is solved. To answer your second question, yes, I opened and compiled a small lyx file in 2.1.3, which was originally generated using 2.0.5. I was able to generate pdf from it. But the problem starts only when the file is large. Actually this file is a ieee paper having more than 8 figures and five tables. Thank you once again for helping me out. I was almost on the verge of blaming my new laptop (bought only yesterday) and was thinking of changing it. You saved my days. Will it be possible to fix this bug so that we can successfully port files from 2.0.5 to 2.1.3 ? Regards, Sutanuka
