You probably double click - assuming this is windows??  You need to learn 
how to use the command line to generate a PNG file.  We can talk you through 
it if you like.

However, I've written a little "helper" application that allows you to 
browse for a lilypond file and then run lilypond on it, and gives you the 
option of PNG output.  Would you like to try a copy?
