Sorry about that, I used lyx-1.3.6_win32_setup_v1.exe. I also have cygwin
previously installed. To satisfy Lyx, I installed MingW alongside. Could
this be the source of the problem?
or this one

Does it work when you export the LyX-file to PDF or DVI?
Yes I tried exporting to pdf and ps too, same error.
Following Georg's suggestion, I'm running it from lyx -dbg info,init right
now. Just a simple text, saved, then trying to export to pdf. It's hanging
now.. The console output is;

I wonder if cygwin's latex packages is conflicting with Miktex? (Newbie's
suspicion)
