I used 2.0.8 instead of 2.1.3 and the problem is solved. To answer your second question, yes, I opened and compiled a small lyx file in 2.1.3, which was originally generated using 2.0.5. I was able to generate pdf from it. But the problem starts only when the file is large. Actually this file is a ieee paper having more than 8 figures and five tables. Thank you once again for helping me out. I was almost on the verge of blaming my new laptop (bought only yesterday) and was thinking of changing it. You saved my days. Will it be possible to fix this bug so that we can successfully port files from 2.0.5 to 2.1.3 ? Regards, Sutanuka

You can instead use 2.0.8.1 (download here: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.0.8.1/), which uses the same format as 2.0.5. If you would like to help us fix the bug, please create a minimal example (see wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample). The way to do that would be to use 2.0.5, delete half of the .lyx file that is causing the problem, save and then open on 2.1.3. If there is an error, then in 2.0.5 delete another half and keep iterating. If there was not an error, then delete the other half. To do a few simple things to make sure everything else is fine, can you open a very simple document in your 2.1.3 that you created in 2.0.5 (e.g. a "hello world" document)? Can you compile a simple document in 2.1.3? Please respond to the list, and not to me personally. Best, Scott
large (258kb) lyx file not opening in windows 8.1
hi, I am running lyx 2.1.3 in windows 8.1 in my new laoptop. I can succesfully open my old lyx files of size 40kb and generate pdf from it. But when I try to open other lyx files of size 258kb or more, it never opens and lyx hangs showing not responding for hours. I have written all these lyx files in my previous laptop having exactly same configuration, only difference being the processor in my old laptop was intel i3 and in my new laptop it is amd a4. And I generated these files using lyx 2.0.5 in windows 7. In my old laptop, I have succesfully created, edited and converted these files to pdf. Please help me. I need to solve it urgently. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. But still I can not open the file of size 258 kb in lyx 2.1.3 in windowds 8.1 in my new laptop. regards, Sutanuka
