Anyway, you have to download the LaTeX document class and install it in the MikTeX LaTeX folder (assuming you are using MikTeX), update/refresh MikTeX and reconfigure LyX.

Since it is a thesis class, are you sure that the article class should be
used, and not the book class instead? Try the following layout file:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[authesis]{book (authesis)}
# Input general definitions
Input book.layout

Usually most of the non-standard classes has to be installed manually. Look at Help > LaTeX Configuration. If it says "Found: no" for a class, than it is not installed.

This is my work computer, and I do not have administrator rights on it, but some limited rights. For example, I can install and uninstall some software, but not all. Could it be the cause of the problem? What should I do to get a more detailed error report form LyX? Andreas

You have to use the fancyheader package, see http://www.ctan.org/tex-
archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.pdf
An example is given here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg47016.html
I think you should write the following in the preamble:
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\rhead{}
\lhead{}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
and \thispagestyle{fancy} using ERT at the start of the first line of the page.
BTW, http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2535 is an enhancemanet
suggestion for this. Vote for this bug and it may be implemented.

Google finds 2 160 000 pages containing the word "lyx", and of these are 919 000 in Swedish and 834 000 located in Sweden.
