Why is my UV mapped texture dissapearing when I start blender game engine All I want is to add a single texture to a plane which will display in the game engine. To do this, I 


unwrap a mesh in edit mode
open UV image editor
open image... its a pgn. but ive tried with jpeg as well with no luck.
In materials, add new material and click plane
In texture, add new texture and use the Image or movie and then under Image, I select my image file. 
I change the view port from solid to textured. 


With this process, I can see the image projected onto the plane. I can also see it when I hit f12 to render. My problem is, that when I start the game engine, the image texture does not show on the plane. All I get is the original grey plan that I started with. 

I've already tried switching to GLSL mode. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've meticulously tried all of the suggestions offered on the forums and haven't had any success. Thank you. 

Here is the blend file reference

I have downloaded and test the file which you have attached.
Pressing P does reveal the image in the game engine on my screen.

I suspect you user preferences setting were different from mine.

Now that I see your graphics card, I am suspecting it could be a hardware/software limitation. I went on the internet and search for OpenGL driver for the card. And it seems that you have to download a package to enable OpenGL support. Maybe you could read up here and download the appropriate OpenGL package for your card?
