Daz3d "messing up"

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I'm new to DS but everything was going great last night until I saved a figure I was working on. When I loaded her back up, the colors weren't right and it seems that textures are missing. I loaded up the Barefoot Dancer I had made from the tutorial--same thing. I also noticed that the little square navigate boxes on the upper right are now just blank white boxes with no icons. They still work but obviously aren't right.

I turned off the computer and went to bed thinking a reset would work in the morning, but this morning, everything is still not right, as before. Haha, and I just bought $80 worth of props!

Anyone heard of this and know what to do?

Confounded.

    A screenshot would be useful.

    Ok here is a screenshot.

    Notice the boxes in Viewport are white. Note also that everything was working great until at one point, I saved it, exited, and when I reloaded a bit later in the evening, it looked like the screenshot--whitewashed of color and perhaps no textures? The boxes become iconless at the same time. I've checked the drop down menu "Texture Shaded" already to no avail.

    That is almost certainly a video driver/GPU issue.  If you have an Intel GPU on the CPU and an AMD or nVidia GPU as well make sure DS is set to use the AMD/nVidia GPU. If not, make sure that you are using the driver from the GPU maker rather than one from Windows Update.

    Agreed, that looks like a driver issue rather than a Daz config issue. which graphics card do you have?  Also what are your viewport settings? (Edit -> Preferences -> Interface).  Click on "Current Hardware Features...".
