Everything Black When In Cartoon, Texture Shaded and Smooth Shaded Modes, But i-ray and Wire are OK.

Did a search and could only find people having their renders coming out black.   Nothing about the display port going completely black.  The attached image is texture shaded mode.

    Sometimes, a light in the scene will do something like that to my viewport if I have preview lights on.

    Top menu bar...
    Window -> Preview Lights

    Oh boy, thanks so much.  I was hitting 99% usage of 32Gb of ram in iRay mode. Being able to use texture shaded brings it down to 24%.  CPU was through the roof too.

    A quicker way to switch the preview lights on and off is just to press ctrl-L

    Not the preview lights, Preview Lights - it's verb plus noun, not a compound noun
