black screen in work area in new eCab installation

Post by Rick Woodburn »

Hi all, I have downloaded and installed eCab's on a new computer, gotten the registration code and the program starts up fine...The design area is black, and when I load a cabinet the design area is still black but the cabinet is there...just can't see it. When you hover over it the pop ups will come up describing the part...but you still can't see it. I can't adjust the background...that part of the screen is black. I've repaired, uninstalled, then reinstalled...Any ideas? Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Rick

Have a look at the left side and check your screen shade and Gradient --

Sounds like an issue with graphics card settings or maybe the driver. Posting your computer specs may help.

Have you tried updating your video card driver from nvidia's website?
