Import image as plane

I try to import a Picture as a plane. But I get an empty plane. What is wrong. I am on a Windows 8 PC. On my old Vista PC it worked.

It works fine for me using Blender 2.7 official release.

So you do get a plane generated?

Have you tried rendering to see if the image is indeed part of the material of the plane?

It may be that the image is there but your viewport display mode is not set to display the image. Try activating Texture Solid under the Shading rollout of the right-hand side viewport panel (N-KEY).
