Hello,
I get these black inoperable flat World Space, upon loading the 6WIP on my Windows 7 Bootcamp. Safe Mode opens and I can use wireframe geometry. 5.0 runs fine.Also running the WIP well on my Bootcamp windows 10 laptop.
Any help would be appreciated. Not sure if its a setting of mine or the WIP. Thanks much!

Hi Jonathan,
The first thing I’d do is update the graphics drivers - they are over 4 years old. Can you still see the issues after that?
David,
Thanks much. Unfortunately, there was never a newer driver offered for this model of the AMD in fact i have a newer driver than even offered any longer on the website. The computer Albeit still running is from 2010.
As Mentioned Rhino 5. Works fine.

It’s a subtle bug that I’m trying to figure out. I’m able to reproduce this on one of my machines and am trying to figure out the cause.
@Jonathan_A_Scelsa, please download the latest WIP that was made available yesterday. We believe that we finally found and fixed the black viewport bug that you were seeing. I would love to know if this WIP works on your computer now.
Thanks,
-Steve
Hi guys, this just happened to me today on the laterst V7 WIP:
I have ran Rhino 6 for a few hours, multiple instances and then a Game engine, so I presume the driver needs a system boot, but Rhino 6 runs just fine.
Note that there are no windows. The default is 4 so this is not one maximzed like shown by the original poster.
Hei Jørgen - I take it this is not reproducible after a reboot?
-wim
Hi Wim, sorry, had to run and will check tomorrow 
I expect it to work. Odd thing is that v6 continued to work just fine even after closing and reopening.
If it happens again…
Close ALL running rhinos…Then try starting V7.
If you see the problem still… Get SystemInfo for the running V7, then start V6 and get SystemInfo for it as well… see if there are any differences.

Hi Jeff!
That sounds like a good idea, will do!
Good morning, V7 WIP is black to day as well, it was the first app I opened after the reboot, so here is the system info:
EDIT:
Opening V7 in Safe mode and closing it (did nothing) seems to have solved the problem so now the WIP is not black. If it happens again I will try to just open and close the WIP with out trying the safe mode, to see if it was just a coincidence.

God morgen, Jørgen,
That doesn’t look good at all. I’d try fixing that before anything else.

Yes, plese do!

Thanks, hopefully that gives @jeff some more ideas or questions.
(I would still try to completely uninstall all drivers for all GPUs and then do a clean install of the latest drivers. Do you have the recipe for doing that?)
-wim
Thanks Jorgen,
Since this seems reproducible…could you please get THE latest V7 WIP and see if you can still reproduce it… I checked something in yesterday that was an attempt to fix something similar (to your SystemInfo results).
Thanks,
-Jeff
