Hey gang. A couple others have had the issue of the red background way back when:

But there was never a solution!! I fixed it before and forgot how to do it since. I haven't messed with TXB in a while so I just got done reinstalling the whole kit and kaboodle do have another go. Am I doomed?

I have not run into this issue so I can't say.

Was it a driver issue? Prefs issue? Background color in the editor inadvertantly changed to red? Is your direct X up to date (www.microsoft.com/directx)
Would love to get this working for you guys!

Hey Mario. I'm trying to help another customer with the very same issue, so hearing your earlier solution would be awesome, should you remember it. :)Was it a driver issue? Prefs issue? Background color in the editor inadvertantly changed to red? Is your direct X up to date (www.microsoft.com/directx)

I am having this same issue now. Originally my Torque X Builder was unable to maximize, so when I saw in the preferences had the resolution of the builder in there I tried to change it from 800 x 600 to 1280 x 800 and now not only did it not change the resolution, but it has the dreaded red background.

From this post I gathered more info www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/47519
What I had to do is goto the preferences folder for Torque X Builder located here
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\GarageGames\TorqueGameBuilderX
and delete everything. The Torque X Builder will recreate the preferences on its next start and you're good to go!
This was under Windows Vista but I assume the same would go under whatever OS, just find the preferences folder.
