Material settings shows up black in Material Viewport

Hi again,

I’ve been asking the same question in Materials and Textures but i think i should ask here because i think it has to do with general settings/preferences. As you can see in the image below the cube shows up in black instead of white. This is so in Blender Render as in Cycles. Anybody have any idea how i can fix this?

Thanks already.


And again you’re not providing a .blend file for review. All of your preferences are saved within the file - so, what easier way could there be for us to check your settings than examining your .blend?

The problem is this: I had a look at the file in your last thread and was not able to replicate the issue, not even by opening the file with “Load UI” enabled. Richard wasn’t either, so I come to think that the issue is not the file or Blender or some setting, but your very machine.

What are your system specs? Especially: What graphics card? What driver version?

I didn’t know that was a possibility too. that’s must be it, because i recently switched to an old desktop of mine.
