Monitor screen goes BLACK upon FCP start-up?!*

Hi Folks - my machine is usually rock solid, yet i've just booted up and opened a project file, then the entire screen just turns black - and then when i quit the desktop comes back . . . pretty annoying

it's happening with every project file i open up. i've never come across this before or heard of it happening - does anyone know what's up?

sincerely, osbourne cox

Press APPLE-F12. You probably have your Video Playback set to Digital Cinema Desktop - Main.

Try pressing Escape, which will take you out of Digital Cinema Desktop if you are in it. This happens to me some times, and I still don't know how FCP got left in that state.
