Well maybe it is not possible i dont know.  
But i try to show textures while in game simulation mode (game renderer and press P)  
I only see the textures when i press F12 key.  
But not while in “P” mode, is it possible and how ?

I have tried it with bitmaps, marble stuki, i have lights and i have a camera.  
As i am a newbie i might overlook something basic perhaps

You can only use image textures in the game engine, so no dynamic textures like Marble or Magic. As a side-note, are you in GLSL mode (in the render tab with the Game Engine renderer enabled)?

I dont see it in the top menu, neither in the menu “3D view” of the viewport itself

Sorry, I should have posted a screenshot.

Enable “Blender Game” as the render engine in the main menu panel, and then select GLSL in the render tab (the one with the camera icon).

Also, in that same screenshot, are you in textured mode in the 3D view? The texture mode button is the checkered ball in the panel below the 3D view.

Reinstalled it twice now, tried a different texture and now it seams to work… are there some limits for textures ?
