Uv test grid missing in 2.61

I can’t get the UV Test Grid to appear in 2.61. It won’t load any other image either. Also, in the ‘N’ stack / Display, there is no “Textured Solid” checkbox. I have run a simple experiment in both 2.6 and 2.61. The attached JPG shows the difference (2.60 is on top).

I don’t know if there is something wrong with 2.61 or if there is a hidden setting somewhere that I am missing.

Thanks for any clues.

You are using cycles. Just a hint.

Thanks, lexi. That was the hint I needed. With Blender Render, the problem disappears.
