Image importing onto front viewport in plane geometry

[krooks88]

I'm starting out using the Sybex book and beginning with the clock modeling lesson. I go through the directions for the insertion of X,Y,Z, length,&height values. I click shaded on front viewport and when I drag and drop the frontal plane image of the clock face into the viewport, instead of one single expanded image of a clock face, for some reason there's almost one hundred tiny abbreviated (cropped) images of the clock face?

I'm not sure if there's a setting on my interface that isn't set up right? I've updated my graphics card. I've played with it a little but I'm just starting to learn 3ds Max, so I have no idea where to beging to correct this.

Any suggestions? I really want to complete this lesson and move on to other, more complex projects. 

btw, what application or program opens up dwf files?

When you create the Plane object there is a checkbox which says "Generate Mapping Coords" - make sure that has a tick in it.

Few other possiblities:

-Make sure that Real-World Map Size is unchecked on the Plane's parameters.

-Check that your Material doesn't have "Face Map" checked in the Shader Parameters, or that your texture doesn't have tiling greater than 1.0.
