Perhaps the model was saved in R8.5 or above?

check the texture paths. pretty basic.

If no textures came with the model in the same folder as the model then there are no textures to load.

Like Acmepixel wrote, if there are no textures for his model then they cannot be loaded. If there are textures in the folder with the model you can either make a texturepath straight to that folder or put the textures in an already existing path (f.e. in Tex in the Maxon-folder).

Sometimes models are made with textures done in Tiff or PSD, but then they are substituted for JPG files when published. You have to re-link them manually or re-save them in their original format.
