The file opens here without any problem. Since you are using windows what was the installer used to install lyx? lyx2lyx, the lyx component responsible for converting between different versions, is written in python and so an incomplete python installation could lead to this kind of error. Note that this is pure speculation and so I could be wrong. In any case we are interested in finding out what is the cause of lyx2lyx malfunction in your machine. > How can I solve this problem? > > Sincerely, > Sharif Rahman Regards, -- José Abílio
