I've read reports where others are having trouble - so you aren't the only one unless it was you I saw posting at EON.  As far as lwo goes, I bet it has something to do with the verison number.  The LWO stuff I have was made in 7 & below, if that helps.  If it has to with textures not importing on LWO - then over at CGTalk - IvanB has written a tutorial that helps out with that problem :)
