Hello Fellow LyX users! I need some help...please!
Problem: When I try to use any of the view or export features (e.g.,
pdflatex, ps2pdf, etc.), the software seems to get in a loop utilizing
about 50% CPU. My system is a 2.6Ghz Intel duo processor Windows XP
with all update service packs. I used the Standard Web Installer:
LyX-1.5.4-1-Installer.exe
<ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.4/LyX-1.5.4-1-Installer.exe> (10 MB).
This installer will setup a complete LyX environment, required
components will be downloaded automatically...from
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows. Everything seems to have installed
ok, and I have created a book using LyX. I just cannot create a PDF or
DVI output file
Kindest regards,

Does this happen with other documents, or just the book you created? If
it's just the book, I suspect that MiKTeX is choking on something. Try
exporting the book to a LaTeX file and running MiKTeX on it from a
command prompt. Maybe MiKTeX will throw up a message indicating what's
going wrong. Another possibility is divide-and-conquer; lop out about
half the book and see if you can get a PDF out of the rest. If so, try
adding back bits at a time until something comes unglued.
