Any idea? Thanks.

eps is a natural format for dvipdfm so with the document open
in LyX did you try View -> Dvipdfm? That should work on any
well-formed .eps file, but dvipdfm doesn't do other formats.
pdflatex naturally does other formats than .eps and "convert"
from Imagemagick is called when pdflatex is chosen as your
viewing mode when there is an included .eps image in the .lyx
file needing conversion. I think you chose to view with pdflatex.
So I suggest seeing if all the .eps images load using dvipdfm.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-users&r=1&w=2 is the best
mailing list archive to search for solutions. Probably one
can convert the recalcitrant eps file to .pdf with ps2pdf and
then pdflatex should work. Sometime the eps file is malformed.
