Thanks Bob,
I appreciate you taking time for your suggestion.
I've tried it but with no luck.
I was wondering if someone could point me where to try to find the answer:
is it a Windows thing? is it MiKTeX thing or is it a LyX thing?
Thanks,
Ed Sykes

hi,
i'm new to LyX and am hoping someone can assist on a problem I'm having.
On a fairly regular basis when I select the "dvi" button or the "div
update"
button Yap crashes and gives the message:
"MiKTeX Problem Report:
Permission denied: C:\TEMP\lyx_tmpdir280a01160\lyx_tmpbuf1\my_file.dvi"
I recently updated MikTeX and am running the latest version of LyX on
Windows XP Professional.
Any suggestions are deeply appreciated !!!!
Thanks so much,

I'm sure one of the developers or more informed users will give a
reason why this is happening. It seems to me that you don't have
permissions to the folder or something similar.
You can change this temp folder under
Tools->Preferences->Paths->Temporary directory. Maybe to a folder you
*know* you have permissions to. For instance mine by default is set
to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\
Windows seems to show strange behavior sometimes for no apparent reason.
