The active object needs to be on a visible layer in order for View Selected (.) to work.
Look in the 3D view header at the layers.
As shown in that picture, I suspect you will have the active object on a non visible layer. The darker squares are the visible layers. The orange dot is the active object.
Press ` to show all layers, or Shift LMB on the layer button in the 3D view header for the layer the active object in on.
