I assume you installed MiKTeX, as indicated on the native port page
(http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/)? You will need this for the
native port to work properly, particularly for generating any output.

You should then be able to preview a LyX document by "View, DVI", which
should launch the DVI viewer Yap (comes with MiKTeX); after doing this,
you can update the DVI preview by selecting "View, Update DVI". You would
then print the document directly from Yap.

The native port is excellent; I recently installed it and it was very
straightforward, and it works extremely well. I did have to install a few
additional MiKTeX packages beyond the basics (geometry, for example, to
allow fine tuning of margins on a per-document basis), but this is pretty
easy with the MiKTeX update wizard/package manager.
