I begin to work on a scene, nothing major , just creating a couple of spheres. I assign a texture, then go back out to the workspace, create something else, then go to assign a texture to it and in the materials lists theres noothing in the boxes,all black and blank. If I restart Bryce they are all there when I go back, but it does it again when I begin to work. I havn't installed any new software on the system, and it's running fine. But this is really frustrating. I'm ready to reformat my harddrive and reinstall Windows, but I don't want to, but it may be my only hope. Is anyone experiencing this or anything like this? kaom
