Are you running in display of 256 colors? Try increasing the setting to
thousands of colors or greater. The workaround, at least for us here, is to
set your
display to use thousands of colors or better (16-bit or higher). You must
quit the IDE and Constructor as well. Restart the IDE, open the project,
remove object code, rebuild and download again. In our tests here this seems
to fix the problem. We think we know what the problem is (it's to do with
palette frying, apparently) but a fix may not be so easy.

Subject: CW5, constructor & WinDrawBitmap - draws a black square. Whats
wrong?
