Installation didn't show any error sign but whenever i open SAS, the 'editor' appears to be in full black, colored black

i can write down codes and run (only few lines) which i can't see cuz the background is in black and can't erase or do something complecated

In tools preferences there should be an option to customize editor, including background colour.

Also, you're using 64 bit SAS I assume?

Hi,

what SAS 9.4 maintenance release are you running, and what SP for Win 7?

Thanks
