Need Help please

Post by vivito »

I just installed LyX on a new Windows 10 PC and always when I want to preview or export a document writed in lyx tell me: missing \begin{document}

I did the same on an old computer that I have, where I writed several amount of documents with Lyx and I don't have that problem. I need help, I need to work on that new computer. I attach screenshots.

When I try to preview:

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

Hi Vivito,

welcome to the forum!

Does LyX produce a .log file? Can you post it here, as attachment? The "Attachments" link is below the text edit field, when writing a post.

In addition to Stefan's questions, do you get that error if you try to compile a new document where you just type "hello"?
