My guess is that you have not correctly sized your texture. It MUST be a power of 2 on both sides.
2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512

Why is the file a psd?
Try using a tga or dds.

in assett manager you can use jpeg, dds, tgd, and other picture formats i belive..? as long the pictures ar in a a folder in the root of COD4, ive used TGA, DDS, Jpeg png and still nothink is being converted to texture..?
So why not??
Sill getting errors..
I resized my image, went to photoshop, open up jpeg image and saved it as a DDS file, reopened ASSMAN,
Selected Matrials, NewEntry, Selected Wood as survice type, /Sign, as usage loaded picture, saved as m1.gdt, pressed pcconvert, and i got this error.
so now what.??
