problem with texture

[russellbdavis]

I am using a PNG file to texture a fenceline. I am using the same texture on mutliple surface items. The texture is not appearing the same on all objects. Even if I copy (duplicate) the original object I created, the image gets altered for some reason and will not appear as it should. What could be happening? As you can see in the attached image, the fenceline on the right does not appear as the fenceline on the left.

And after I select anobject, and then try to use the object property editor [F9], I get nothing but a popup dialog box that says:

Editing object properties

with nothing but a command button labeled "Close"
