Thanks for the responses. I'll give them a try soon

I worked my way through the dust tutorial a couple of times and am having a problem with the constraint. When I select the "translate" to and select either toe bone the dust object does not move to the toe as it does in the video. It says it's attached in the project workspace but in the window workspace it is not near the toes. Is this a Vista thing or did I miss something? Do I need to just drag it to the toe bone?

That Desktop Composition thing worked for a lot of people (and you rebooted after that, right?) but... You could try these longshots: -View>Workbook on or off - Show Rulers on or off (it's a button at the top) -maximize or un-maximize (aka "Restore", not the same as "minimize") the window within the Work window -maximize or un-maximize A:M -Wireframe or Shaded/Wireframe view. Just rebooted AM and guess what? It worked. THANK YOU !!

Well, disabling desktop composition didn't change anything and I looked under appearance in control panel and nothing there looked relevant. It's a solid black in the drag box, not a tint. Also, if I drag a box out to some size and then continued to drag the box it would draw black boxes following the cursor. If I drag a box in the window away from any CP's it will leave a black box in the workspace until I right click in the window. It's weird. Thanks for trying to help me. When I was doing the lipsync exercise and I had to select key points in the timeline, there was no black box, just a clear box. Only seems to happen in the workspace window.

Do you use Windows Vista? You have to deactivate the Desktop-Composition for Animation:Master there. Another option is to change the driver for Realtimeviews for A:M. -> Options > Global > Direct3d/OpenGL... switch this. *Fuchur* Thanks for the response. I tried changing the driver but neither one changes the problem. I do have Vista 64. Where do I deactivate teh Desktop-Composition?

Hello AM world. I've been working my way through the exercises and the forums for two weeks now and having a good time so far. When I drag a selection box in the workspace window, the box is opaque black inside until I release the mouse button, then it is clear. This makes it hard to see the CP's I'm selecting. In the videos I've watched the box is clear while dragging to size. How do I fix this?
