MikTeX comes with its own kpsewhich. You may check whether MikTeX can
find e.g. article.cls by giving the command (in a command prompt
window): kpsewhich article.cls

As suspected MikTeX sees it
c:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin>kpsewhich.exe article.cls
kpsewhich: warning: running with administrator privileges
C:/Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/tex/latex/base/article.cls
LyX not so much
How to check if LyX is "Reconfigured" correctly?
I have never been here with LyX and MikTeX which I am sure is some sort
of right of passage that all must experience at some point, but it still
beats Word in referencing, in line notes, equations, tables, figures,
referencing, tables, figure refs, tables, and did I mention tables.
Sigh... various versions of word could not even understand it's own
table format over the years. I checked the other machine that I said
was working and it does for article.cls but not for withesis which is
off UW website and I hacked it in with lyx layout. The current machine
I am on can't even find article.cls. All good fun. Anyone know of some
good caves I can scratch my thesis on?
