Re: Unknown software exception (1.6.0rc2)
Hi Paul, It happens in every document. I did that you said. I executed "lyx.exe -dbg any", opened a new document, typed a letter m, selected it and copied it. Look at the results attached and on this snapshot http://screencast.com/t/yTT8amgh. Máté - Original Message - From: Paul A.

You could try running lyx from a command shell with the option -debug any. That will spew all sorts of messages in to the command window, all but the last of which can be ignored. The question is whether you get any informative messages right before the crash. What you posted elsewhere about uninstalling looked to have been thorough enough. If there is a conflict with another program, though, reinstalling LyX likely will not fix it. :-( Booting into safe mode was a good idea, but even in safe mode you may have things running in the background that could be problematic. You might try safe mode again and, before starting LyX, check for background processes (with Task Manager or Process Explorer), and kill any that you don't absolutely need. /Paul Microsoft Windows XP [verziószám: 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

Re: Unknown software exception (1.6.0rc2)
I understand you related to Windows - Linux. But now I have to solve it on Windows. I used the own uninstall process of LyX. and I checked that all LyX related folders disappeared from C:\Program Files and C:\Documents and Settings\salat\Application Data. Can I make it more effective? Thanks your help. At the latest my next windows reinstall should fix the problem. But I hope it sooner.

But you should probably make sure that everything is being removed. I'm guessing that some stuff isn't being removed, and so you're not really getting a full reinstall. Richard

If so, you may need to revert to 1.5 for a while. You can use the lyx2lyx program, which can be run from outside LyX, to convert your files into a format that 1.5 can read. Since I don't know your platform, I don't know where the program is located, but on my system, I'd need to open a terminal and do this: python /usr/local/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t 276 myfile.lyx > myfile.15.lyx Richard
