    Add this function to your functions.php:

    <?php # Displays post image attachment (sizes: thumbnail, medium, full)
function dp_attachment_image($postid=0, $size='thumbnail', $attributes='',$echo=1) {
   if ($postid<1) $postid = get_the_ID();
   if ($images = get_children(array(
      'post_parent' => $postid,
      'post_type' => 'attachment',
      'numberposts' => 1,
      'post_mime_type' => 'image',)))
      foreach($images as $image) {
         $attachment=wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, $size);
         $img = "<img src='{$attachment[0]}' $attributes />";
         if ($echo) {
           echo $img;
         } else {
           return $img;
         }
      }
}?>

    Use this to display your attachment:

    <?php
$cat = 39;  // Replace this with your own category id
query_posts("posts_per_page=1&caller_get_posts=1&cat=$cat");
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   $link = get_category_link($cat);
   $echo = 0;
   $img = dp_attachment_image($post->ID,'full','width=90%',$echo);
   if ($img) { ?>
      <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" ><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
      <a href="<?php echo $link; ?>" > <?php echo $img; ?> </a>
   <?php }
 endwhile;
endif;
?>
