Simple Texture, Object > Texture blanks out?
This is my last resort. Ive tried texture Coordinator, tried following the manual, even did a forum search. Basically all I wanna do, is take an image i got from the net, and put it onto a model. I select the area I want the texture to go in, and "Object" blanks out, so i cant even add it. The model im making is a TV, easy right? Everything besides adding the texture. Please help. Basically I select a face, and want to put a texture there, somehow Im not able to.

Re: Simple Texture, Object > Texture blanks out?
The thing to remember is that AC3D textures objects not faces (or surfaces) - so select the surfaces in your object that you want to texture, and from the menu select Surface - Cut away object. Now, go to object select mode and select your new object and from the menu select Object - Load texture and find your texture file and load it. Now, press F-10 and play around with the settings. Good Luck.

Have you read the manual? (AC3D's menu Help->Manual - look up texturing) If your model has all it's texture coordinates set to 0,0 you will get nothing showing up on your model and only a single point in the TCE. In the TCE, trying mapping to front (if your model faces that way).
