Black Screen with Mouse Trails

Hi guys,

I've been learning how to use TGB with the trial version for the last few days and I've constantly run into the same issue with every tutorial/project I try, so i'm starting to think that it's not me, and my computer, that is the issue.

I've looked up the problem on the site and can't seem to find any issues.

Anyway, I tried the tic-tac-toe tutorial to have a go at a simple game, and when running the game (before adding the AI) it just loads up a black screen that trails your mouse around the screen. At first I thought it was my renderer, so I switched from D3D to OpenGL, and that didn't solve anything. Then I thought maybe TGB hates Windows 7, so I packaged the files up and sent them to a mate with Windows XP, and another mate with Windows Vista to test for me. Still same problem.

This leads me to believe that there must be an issue with the install I've made, preventing me from running any projects. If this is a known bug, please tell me how to fix it. I saw something similar with a fix about the common.cs file being an old version - but it was for TGE and not TGB, so I don't want to try it if it's gonna mess something up.

Any help is welcome, thanks!

    Nevermind, it was an error on my part- somehow I managed to make errors in nearly all of my projects which caused the project not to run! :O
