Unavaible layouts

I just installed the new release of lyx-1.6 and I am having problems with the output.
When I load an existing *.lyx document it gives me a message:
"The layout file requested by this document article.layout is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not available. LyX will not be able to produce output."

When I look into - Documents > Settings > Document Class it shows that all classes including the standard
ones (article, report, etc) are "unavailable".

My OS is winxp. I don't know how to fix it.

Run 'texhash' in a command prompt and then Tools->Reconfigure in LyX
and report back.

First guess: try Tools>Reconfigure

2nd: Check Help>LaTeX-Configuration

3rd Is LaTeX still installed? Available for LyX?

Be aware that 1.6 is a "release candidate", not a release (unless I
missed an announcement).  It's for testing and to learn the new
features, but I suggest you not use it for serious work until a stable
version emerges.
