Lyx formatting dfisturbed after using Lyx on windows 8.1

Post by fuzzy2001 »

Hi,

I have been using Lyx 2.1 with miktex 2.9 on windows 7 based system untill now. I recently was given a windows 8.1 based PC at work. When I tried to view my PhD thesis on then new machine, the formatting was all disturbed. When I rechecked it on my windows 7 based laptop, it was fine there.

What could be the source of the problem?

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

Can you post a minimal example? Please read this:

wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

If not, can you check whether the problem is the LaTeX compilation or differences in PDF viewers? To do this, export your thesis on the computer where it worked well. Then view that PDF on the other computer.
