I upgraded to LyX 1.5.7 on WinXP with MikTeX 2.7 (updated). Everything
is fine except that update PDF does not work. When I try to update an
open PDF, which always worked fine before, I get an error from LaTeX:

Any help is appreciated. For the record, I updated MikTeX, refreshed
it, and re-created the format files, and also ran Reconfigure in LyX.

Dave,
I suspect you're using Acrobat Reader, which locks the file while it's
open. Check in the LyX bin directory and see if you have pdfview.exe
installed. If yes, go to Tools -> Preferences... -> File formats,
highlight in turn each PDF format you use, such as PDF (pdflatex),
change the Viewer from 'auto' to 'pdfview' and click Modify and then
Save. Then I think you'll need to restart LyX (but not reconfigure).
