Need help. Looks like the lights in animator pro went out. Program till can be used, but screen is not normal. Problem began after I loaded a scanned grayscale image. Maybe I hit a wrong program setting? Any ideas?

Any ideas? << woh! still doing this? can you describe what the screen does look like (i don't understand "not normal"). do you have another graphics card around? another system to re-install AniPro on to see if we have file corruption? the code hasn't changed any, so i'd suspect hardware!!! <g> -dave

A possibility! When you loaded the grayscale image the palette comes with it and everything is going to go gray (lights went out?) Then when you exit if you don't click "Abandon", the next time you fire up the grayscale palette gets loaded. This is a pretty simplistic possibility but worth a look. Try exiting with Abandon then fire it up again. Will

If you can remember where the appropriate exit buttons are, you can fool around and try to exit and then abandon. Otherwise, reinstall the software. — Don't feel bad, I did this myself once 🙂 Tom Marlin Studios
