When I bring use the curves function I see a black curve, on a black grid, on a black background. This makes it hard to pick the curve (because I can’t see it!) but I can still tweak it. Also when loading PS7 the box in the centre which shows all the authors etc. is black too. Is this a settings thing?

Both of these functions use offscreen bitmap functionality. More than likely this
is a video driver or DirectX problem.

Check at the video board manufacturer’s and make sure both are up to date. —

No; no sane programmer would create a setting that made the dialog boxes unusable.

Your video card driver is bad. See if the manufacturer has an updated driver available.

Gents,

Thanks for the help. I will have a look for a new driver.

Cheers,

Max.
