Render materials absurd color

[Steve K]

When I render and import a bitmat image, the image is a translusent green. The image does not change when I adjust the attributes. I have tryed to import .bmt, .jpg, .tga, .tiff, and .giff's, all with the same result. :( I'm sure the problem is when I import the image. Even the default bitmat's in the material library are also the same.

do you have Photo Real or Raytrace enabled in the rendering options ?

photo real is clicked in render

even before i render they are still green, even in materials library

[hendie]

do you have Materials enabled in the graphics display section ?

Yes I do have ny apply materials box checked. I just found out my process of adding materials is correct because I opened my self made template and did the exact same steps and it worked perfectly. I then made all of my rendering options the exact same as my template file and it is still turning a flourescent green. It is like this file is corrupt in some way. I started this file out of my self made template so whatever happened to my file occured while I have been working on it.
