It works fine here (no crash yet). As for the previous versions (svn1
and svn2), the installer detects that I have the dictionaries
installed (English and French), but spell checking fails complaining:
The Spellchecker could not be started
No words list can be found for the language "en_US".
I see the same message in the console when I start lyx from there.
I couldn't reproduce this problem. Does Aspell work with your existing
LyX 1.5 installation?
I did not have 1.5 installed. So I installed yesterday the 1.5.4 from
LyX-1.5.4-1-Installer.exe. During the installation, I checked the
download of English and French dictionaries. As for 1.6, the
spellchecking does not work (same error message, but only as a popup, I
do not see it in the console if I start LyX from there... probably some
debug option).
The other things I noticed may be related to LyX and my installation,
not the windows version in particular (although point 3 may be
windows-related):

3- pdf conversion issue. I make my graphics with Inkscape 0.46 and
export them as pdf (via Cairo). They have unconventional page size
(fitting the graphic, as a bounding box) and are displayed correctly
in adobe reader (v8), foxit reader, and gsview.
However, the display in LyX "kind of" maps them onto a Letter or A4 page.
This was a bug in Imagemagick. When you are using a recent Imagemagick
version (at least version 6.3.8-11, the one that it installed when you
install LyX 1.5.4 using my installer), this problem shouldn't occur.
You are right on the spot. I installed version 6.4.1 and the pdf are now
displayed fine in LyX.
When this doesn't fix your problem, could you send me by private mail a
PDF wehre you see the bug? I then guess it's a bug in the PDF handling
of Inkscape.

Thanks for the hints/help.
Best regards.
