The Preview Light suddenly went missing in DS 4.7 pro

Any one know what might have happened to the preview light in my copy of DS4.7Pro? Two days ago it was there, started up DS yesterday and it was gone. I have verified everything I know, including checking the preview/lighting set toggle is off.
Possible related issue. all the character sets now load extremely dark, like they all are set to use the same dark skin (ie Nidale and other dark skinned female skins)

Back to lighting... adding a full frontal area light and turning on the view for that light does not brighten things very much either.
I tried resetting my preferences to default, but no change.

It is very hard to work on a scene with everything showing up dark to black.

Thanks for your help.

    Are you sure you haven't accidentally added another light and it's pointing off into nowhere? The preview light turns off when any other light is in the scene.

    Oops, went back and re-read your post. Sorry, I have no clue to your problem. I'd suggest saving the objects & figures in the scene and moving them to a new scene. Or starting over with a new scene to see if it's a persistent generic problem with Studio itself.

    Thanks for the response L-G

    I checked for a stray light again anyway, although this happens on totally new startup renders ... I do make mistakes. Nope, not the problem.

    Have you changed anything in the default load settings?
