Please refrain from sending a request for help to both the devel as the
user-list. First, this is not a specific issue for developers, second
all developers will probably read both lists anyway and will receive
your mails twice.
 
If you really want help for your problem, please try to compose a proper
message. By describing what Splash.lyx is and mentioning that you first
run LyX, I got the impression that you really are a first time user who
didn't know how to get proper output out of LyX.
 
Concerning your problem: Did you try to run oolatex in the command
prompt ? I get the following error:
 
       Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
xtpipes
       Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: xtpipes
 
which is also reported here: 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2905250&group_i
d=10783&atid=110783
 
but MikTeX denied the responsibility of the problem. So, if you have
MikTeX 2.8 you'll probably have the same problem. If this is not a
MikTeX problem, it is certainly not a LyX problem. 
 
Maybe someone knows a work-around ?
