I made this thread in For Beginners, but noone there was able to help.

I was having trouble loading the image, but have since fixed that. Now I cant seem to get the image to actually show on the screen. Instead its just the blue rectangle I have drawn with no texture on it.

    glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );
    glLoadIdentity();

    //Initialize Modelview Matrix
    glOrtho(0, 1200, 700, 0, -1, 1);

   glClearColor(1.0,.4,0.0,0.0);
   glEnable( GL_TEXTURE_2D);
    //Check for error
    GLenum error = glGetError();
    if( error != GL_NO_ERROR )
    {
        printf( "Error initializing OpenGL! %s\n", gluErrorString( error ) );

At first I was having issues with loading the image, but thats no longer an issue. Any idea on why the image wont show on the quad? Perhaps an issue with binding?

The code works as it is for me. Check for OpenGL errors in your code.

The image shows on screen for you? How can that be?

Probably because there's nothing wrong with the code itself, but the environment in which you run it. For example, you may be trying to load a non-power of two texture in an environment that can only handle power of two textures. As I said, check for errors.
