numeric values unreadable with XP

[stippy]

When I install lightwave 7 on a Xp machine I 'v got the problem that all numeric input valueboxes have white backgrounds
with pale yellow numbers on top, so more or less unreadable.
I can't find any solution for this.
Does anyone experienced this weird problem?

You'll need to turn off "Themes", I think is what it is called.
Basically turn off all the Windows XP graphical fluff. I don't know all the steps, but there are several websites that tell you how to optimize Windows XP.

No, this is caused by language packs, and I believe is resolved in newer versions of LightWave. Search the forum for more info.

Doing the free upgrade to LW 7.5 should solve it.

I had same problem as your for ages. You need disable your asian language in control panel. It will be fine.
