If your Silverlight app is in-browser, It looks like the test is simply missing a Navigate to step at the beginning. Therefore it's trying to locate and act upon the Item0Image element when the page isn't actually loaded. You can easily record a Navigate to step and move it to the first position.
Once that's in place, you might also increase the Silverlight Connect Timeout in Project Settings > Recording Options if your app requires a longer load time. There is also a corresponding setting on the Web tab of Test List Settings.
