    Background keeps turning black when highlighting


    When I click and hold left mouse button and drag my mouse across the screen it makes a black outline. I have updated my graphics drivers I have reset my graphics card and I have re-seated my graphics card and the problem still persists. Any help?

    :)

    Theme Background keeps turning to black and not retaining settings

    Hi Theme Background keeps turning to black after about 10 minutes and no matter how many times you reset it it is continuing to turn back to black after about 10 minutes and not retaining settings.

    Have tried most of the things on the internet. Any ideas on how to solves this?

    Thanks
