Help with displaying a single RASTER image

I am reviewing the tutorial and re-learning the MapServer by looking over
work that I had done previously on another computer and converting examples
that I had done with my own data (and that previously worked) to the new
paths on this computer. Now I am finding that I cannot get the server to
display a single GeoTIFF image under some vector data. I can see the vector
data but the raster image won't draw for some reason. I hope that someone
out there has some suggestion as to why the raster isn't appearing. I have
checked my path to the raster data and it is correct. I have tried settings
with processing the COLOR_MATCH_THRESHOLD and it didn't work. I even tried
turning off INTERLACE in the map image and it didn't work.

The strange thing is that when I jump ahead to an example that I had done
with image tiles, this works and displays the raster tiles. But I can't seem
to get it to work with a single image. I also can't get the raster in the
standard tutorial35 to display.

Does anyone out there have an answer to my problem?

My MapServer configuration is:

C:\Apache\htdocs\MapserverTutorial>..\CGI-BIN\MAPSERV.EXE -v
MapServer version 4.2.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=POSTGIS
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

My map file is:

END # end of map file

and the line in my HTML file that runs the MapServer is:

thanks in advance for your help.
