Black Box in MC5 Track View ?

  Hey all,  I'm new to the forums so hope I'm not intruding.  However I am out of ideas on this one and need help.      
Could someone please click on the link below and tell me where in heck did the black space in the center of my track view come from.   The link is a snapshot of my Track View.  I've tried soaking it out , I've tried scrubbing it out, and still come up with ring around the Trk Vw...:)  much thanks

yep, that's odd. I haven't seen that before.  does it happen in other projects?  in a new project?

Have you tried the old standby.... re boot the box.

If it comes back... as Beagle asked is it just in this one project or all of them?

Could this be due to a streching of MC5 in your display? I run MC4, so this probably isn't an issue for me. If you have it maximized, try resizing MC5 or change your display settings possibly?

MC4 - M-Audio FW410 / Behringer UCA202 - Fender Strat / Jazzmaster / DuoSonic / Washburn / Peavy Foundation M-Audio Radium 49 Roland Juno 106 / JazzChorus / Seymore Duncan Convertible - HP A1230N ( AMD Athalon 3800+ 2G Ram + 200G HD )

Has it always been like that?
Maybe not, or you would have thought it was meant to be like that.
But playing with some of the appearance options with SONAR Home Studio 6, I could make my GUI look almost identical to yours. I wonder if there's some SONAR ghost in your machine? (MC is based on SONAR).
I'm pretty sure that MC can't be changed, but check under Options and see if you have "Colors" listed. If so, you may be able to change the view.

Thanks for the suggestions I do have MC Pro and Sonar 4 PE installed.  I'm going to try uninstalling Sonar 4 and see if that is the problem.  I have a long history of software crashes.

I have spent half my life in help files.  I think it was installing Sonar 4 after MC 5.  MC 5 has very few midi options so for awhile I was trying to see if I could use both but now have a can of worms.  Maybe something to do with the effects bin setup in Sonar 4.

does the extra space cause problems?

If you are using a desktop system, and only want stereo input, then get a good M-Audio Delta 24/96 card and it will take a lot of the fight out of the Dog. I have used that card and a mixer in front for about 8 years now.

I'd Seize the day but i can't quite reach it!
