LyX doesn't actually load

Post by Friedebarth »

Hello all,

I'm using Windows Vista SP2 x64, and just installed MiKTeX and LyX. When I start LyX, I encounter a problem: It doesn't actually load. As in, the process somewhat loads, but gets stuck at 2460K and then doesn't do anything further, including loading the GUI (that sentence was a bit wonky, what I'm trying to say by that is that the GUI doesn't load).

This is what my Task Manager looks like:

Any idea what might be wrong?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
