Hello Robert,
RO> If I may make a suggestion here. Yes, of course. RO> Try powerdot rather than prosper. I think you will RO> find it an improvement and may not have as many RO> problems. I faced to the same problem trying powerdot. :( I installed everything (LyX 1.3.6) on an XP machine and I played a little bit. I found that the View -> PDF does not work! It produces the errors as described below. In the other hand, if I export it to PDF, it works! Wow! What is the problem? Somebody shall check it, sometime... It is same for prosper and powerdot. So, I returned back to my 1.3.3 (at home) and I tryed to export as PDF. Unfortunately, I have Win98 and I was out of environment space during running ps2pdf! It was hard to figured it out. So, I have to export it to PS first, then copy to "C:\lyx\gs\gs8.51\lib\" and then do "command /e:1024" to increse enviroment space afterward comes the ps2pdf in that shell. Thus, I have the presentation in pdf. I tryed to increase environment space at boot, without any success! :( >> step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide >> step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide >> step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide I don't know why this appears, but it does not bother me anymore.
