Hi Andrew (and Matthias), I also run V 05.01.54 on another machine (P4). Both machines Windows XP Prof although the Laptop with the V 05.01.64 on it has some differences in the XP.
Both RS variants have the Light Sensitivity Channel in "Channels". The P4 runs the Light sensitivity material perfectly ... which I didnt know until just now. But the laptop fails as I have outlined previously. In both machines the light sens option is over-written in the properties colour box although as Stefan points out ... this is a display effect only and the Light sens value is recalled accurately. Checking the Channel list is the only test I have done so far on the options folk have suggested .... conclusion: the channel is included in the list of channels. The effect fails only on the laptop which has the later Version of RS and also some small variations in OS. It is no longer a problem for me now that I have firstly settled on a "good enough" work-around, and secondly, that I can do the work on the P4. However, I will try the other options on the laptop as time permits ... and report.
