Uwe,
Reconfiguring does not resolve the problem. I get the same symptoms.
I gave the wrong source of lyx file below.
The lyx file that is giving me the problem is the User's Guide fetched via the Help tab, not the web site indicated below. So the bug still exists. Maybe the lyx file that comes with the program is faulty.

As workaround I'm using the merged 1.6.4/Manuals.pdf file from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Manuals

Thanks Jim

When I fetch the User's Guide from [http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Manuals (sic)] the Help tab and attempt to view the "The LyX User's Guide by the LyX TeamVersion 1.6.x" as a PDF file by clicking on the PDF icon (View pdflatex) I get the following error message:

"tex\latex\subfig\subfig.sty is missing:"

So your LaTeX installation misses the package "subfig". To fix this

- open an Internet connection
- start LyX by double-clicking on the file "lyx.exe"
- reconfigure LyX (Tools->Reconfigure)

MiKTeX (the LaTeX engine) will now install all LaTeX-packages needed by LyX. You can see the progress in the console window that was opened together with LyX.

regards Uwe
