Thanks Richard,

I just reinstalled LyX using LyX-1.6.8-2-Installer.exe but I'm still having
the same problem.

I also checked to make sure TeXFiles.py file is there, which it is.

I also noticed the same error happens when I go to Tools > TeX Information.

Any suggestions? Should I try installing a full version of python?

Thanks again,
-Gabe
