Problem Installing Lyx

.E_C_K_S.

Hi there,
I have trouble installing lyx for windows 7 64 bit:

1.I do not know how to install missing packages for MikTex using directory repository

2.When I click save as nothing happens. The file tries to save somewhere but I cannot change where it is saved

Any help on this would be appreciated.I need it for college!
Thanks!

Search for whatever package you want and click the + to install.

No idea what you're talking about here?

Thanks for the reply much appreciated!

Ya, sorry maybe should have been clearer. Basically I cannot save a file or tell a file where to save?

So LyX is installed, it's just not working right?

Ya it's a strange one alright! Everything else seems to be working perfectly. A friend told me that I might not have file privileges or must run it as an administrator which I did but no luck still!

I don't use LyX myself so I don't know what the problem is tbh. Sorry.

Just had to install a previous version and it seems to be working now.
