problem loading a model

I was using 3dsm and tried loading a model my friend made so i can look at it but i couldnt can someone tell me why ?

You haven't exactly provided much detail on the problem but a few questions to help nail the problem. What format is it in? is it .max? Ummm, what version of max is he/you using, are they different or the same?
I know fromexperience that .max files created using 3ds max 5 sometimes have trouble opening in 3ds max 4.

as is normal 3dsmax can't open max files of an earlier vertion of 3dsmax, tell your friend to export the model in .3ds file or wrl. both can be imported into your max.

I was using 3dsm 6 and the file was .mdx i used the mdx/mdl importer but it still wouldnt work. The error it says is --Runtime Error : buildTVFaces: mesh has no texture vertices - $Editable_mesh:Object01 @ [0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000]

Im sorry but 3ds max 6 doesn't support wc3 maodels, u need to have either 4 or 5.

yes it does its called plug-ins but it wont load the current model im trying to load
