Anime Studio Pro 10 Black Screen Problem

Post by MrSoHot »

Hi, I had anime studio pro 10 back in January and, because of problems with the space on my hard drive, I uninstalled it. It worked fine. In fact the only thing that really changed about my computer is the OS which changed to Windows 10 after its release. I just reinstalled it recently and for some strange reason, I can't see anything on the space. It's just a black screen. Image

strangely enough I get this issue with Painter 12 on my win 8.1 machine. Even stranger, windows image viewer will not render images on that monitor instead showing a message about not having enough memory - which isn't the case... stranger still, if i drag the window, or painter canvas, to one of my other 2 monitors, the image/canvas magically re-appears.

I have a strong suspicion that all of these issues are graphics card driver related...

Try disabling GPU acceleration in the preferences.

I did and when I do everything is grayscale and some vectors aren't showing up on the screen no matter what I do.

I used it on a daily basis earlier in the year on the same computer before uninstalling and there wasn't a single problem. Until I installed it again THIS happened. But then again I do have an old school computer so it might be.

See if there's an update for your graphics driver. That usually fixes this sort of thing.

My drivers are all up to date but the problem still persists.

Just asking to be sure: You're disabling GPU in the Preferences panel and not only the one in the display options, correct?

Sorry for commenting roughly 4 days later and no I wasn't disabling GPU in the preferences. I'll go ahead and do that now.

Not sure why, but now it doesn't do that anymore. It just stays black.
