Most puzzled about this one.
Yesterday I installed various bits and pieces: ProApps 2007 update 2. Final Cut update 6.0.2. DVD Studio Pro update 4.2.1. Motion update 3.0.2. All seemed well. So I did my usual Thursday backup. But today I ran FCP and got a totally black screen (apart from the menu bar). If I click on the little apple and select Recent Items>(something else), I see the Final Cut windows as normal (with 'something else' foreground). When I click on a FCP window, the screen goes black again. If I'd not done a backup straight after the install, I'd be okay... Has anybody else come across this strangeness? Remedy? I'd scrap FCP and re-install, but my system began as 1.25, and went through all the numbers; I fear having to find all the serials and things... Many thanks for any hints, tips, used banknotes, etc. Ol. Machine is a 2.7 dual G5 with 4Megs of RAM. OS 10.4.11.
Just in case anybody else has this problem, here's how I managed to get it to go away (I'd like to say I cured it, but who can tell?):
I scrapped any and everything I could find to do with FCP, re-installed it (along with the rest of the package), then re-started. Same black screen problem. Did exactly the same thing a second time. Cleared. Sadly I've no idea why. And I didn't need to give it serial numbers. Again I don't know why, though I suspect it might be something to do with DVDSP, etc, being there. Many thanks again to Nick, Ol.
