Quote - so you are saying- my poserpro is a higher version? i am not familar with lwo or importing there in- just needed a police car and there were what i found. i tried exporting as a obj and then appling the tex then but same result

So my language not so good sometime, I try again;

Poser only can import Lightwave Objects up to Lightwave version 5.6, those versions do not have UV mapping only object space mapping.  You have to convert the LWO file to some other format and UV map it.  Straight forward way is convert to OBJ and use some UV mapping application, there are many and most modeling programs contain one also
