Problem exporting pdf

Post by spiegate7 »

Hello everyone,
I am a quite new lyx (and latex) user. I use lyx 2.1.4 version and windows 7 64bit. I use lyx on a daily basis for the last couple of months, so I can create notes and excersices for my classes (I am a math teacher in greece). I didn't have a problem until yesterday. The thing was that lyx stopped exporting pdf files. I was using file -> export -> PDF(ps2pdf). It suddenly stopped!
It was making an error and could not export the pdf file.
I tried updating Miktex, uninstalled and reinstalled lyx, ununstalled and reinstalled miktex, updating, reconfiguring, but nothing worked.
I tried preety much everything that i read from a search from google, but nothing seems to be working.
From my last installation, i can export pdf files, but by the time i try to open them, i get a damage report and the file isn't opening.
Does anyone have a clue?
thanx in advance
