This works, provided you actually have the font files installed (which, from the sound of things, you don't).

How did you install LaTeX? If it was through something like MikTeX or TeXLIVE, I'd use their usual installation methods to install the Times package or perhaps mathptmx itself, which should download the Times fonts at the same time. Many LaTeX systems come with that package pre-installed, but just as many require you to install it yourself.
