So, despite the message, the PDF file does not show up in the directory where the LyX doc lives? Try exporting and (with LyX still running) use Windows Explorer to check the LyX temporary directory. (If you're not sure where that is, check Tools > Preferences > Paths > Temporary directory. I could pretty much tell you from memory where it is on XP, but Win 7 moved stuff around, and I'm not on a Win box right now.) Assuming you can find the directory, if the PDF file is sitting in it, then the problem may be something with access permissions for the directory where the source document is (unlikely, but possible). > I'm running Windows 7 and have both Acrobat Reader 10 and Foxit Reader installed, with Foxit being the default. Also, the only options I'm seeing under Preferences > File Handling > File Formats > PDF (pdflatex) are "None" and "Custom". Are Acrobat Reader and Foxit on your system command path (meaning: can you run either one from a DOS prompt)? If not, it's possible that adding one or both to your system path and then reconfiguring LyX might fix the problem. Paul
