press SHIFT+L to change to unlit textures .. this will disable lighting for 
all textures, but at least it will show textures. I think the problem is a 
bad positioned light so all texture lightmaps become black.

this could also be due to bus locking by the video card.

What you see are the unlit parts of a model :) again press SHIFT+L

Btw, the lighting problem seem to be rooted in some changes in CS some time 
ago, because it once worked (as they say, it was all much better back then)
