I downloaded a T-Racks demo and it installed & all of that but the screen is
black. I can see parameter numbers but it's black. Don't get it. I've
downloaded it before & it worked fine. Any ideas appreciated.

Try changing your video card settings to 16-bit high color. It's a known
issue with some video cards, especially ATA Rage cards, that 24-bit and
32-bit color causes the problem you describe.

Hey man, you rawk. Worked like a charm. Thanks. I stared at that 32 bit thing
but never changed it.
