No, I still get the error message saying formats.ini doesn't exist.
I did a quick search and found a couple of posts (auf Deutsch, so it's a
gamble whether I understood them correctly) by someone who experienced
the same problem. If my very rusty German served me, reinstalling
MiKTeX solved it for him.
Should I uninstall LyX and MiKTeX
No need to uninstally LyX, but yes, I would uninstall MiKTeX.
and then installing an older version of MiKTeX?
No, I would go with a newer version. The current version is 2.9. I'm
pretty sure I have that installed on Win 7 Home (64 bit) on one machine,
and it works there.
I would suggest installing a minimal version of MiKTeX with the network
installer, and then adding packages as needed. That way, if it's still
broken, you will have expended less time finding out.
Good luck.
