Since the Rtools installation helps LyX to communicate with R, I would suggest that you try reinstalling Rtools as much as possible by using default installation settings (especially I wouldn't tinker with '3) Select current value of PATH'). Additionally, try moving your old profile dir to somewhere else and then completely uninstall and reinstall LyX. Liviu
