Title: Sound Forge 9 "Cursor Positioning Blackout"
Post by: dactylus on August 08, 2009, 09:30:16 AM

For some reason unknown to me the small "time interval bar" / "cursor positioning box" under the main editing screen randomly "blacks out" and stays blacked out after turning my computer on from the off position.  I have NEVER had this happen with SF8, just SF9.  I have not found a way to restore this invaluable cursor positioning box manually, this rectangular box eventually reappears, not blacked out, and returns to normal status after several days of turning the computer on and off during normal use.  Any tips on how to manually restore this feature?

Thanks

I use SF9.0 almost exclusively and have NEVER  had this problem. I would offer that perhaps you've got a video card (or driver) that's acting up, or you've got a bad installation of SF9.

Very odd indeed.  I have re-installed SF9 before and it did NOT eliminate the problem...  Any one else have an idea?

seconded.  what video chipset are you using, and are you on the latest driver?
