Solidworks 64 won't let me import any pictures?

I'm using Solidworks 64 student edition, and I have been trying to  import an image file and it won't work. I tried many files types, tiff,  jpeg, psd, pdf, but nothig is working! It says it cannot read the file  type, but with tiff and psd files it has no error, but leaves me with no  image. I am able to undo the insert image command, so is it importing  the image somewhere and remains invisible? What's going on? I'm just  trying to import an image for reference to build, why is this so hard!
