    I get a box that says "list out of bounds -1" then when I start the program i get a black screen in the message writing area?

    Still using the 32 bit one ok.

    I get a box that says "list out of bounds -1" then when I start the program i get a black screen in the message writing area?

    Which version? Beta 5 or when trying a new one?

    That's a Delphi error message but I have no idea what it means, sorry.

    Have a look at your colour config in "File -> Options -> Display" and make sure that the editor is NOT configured for black text on a black background.

    It happens when you access an array out of bounds. A classic programming error that can happen almost anywhere in the code. So without further information there is not much to look for.

    then when I start the program i get a black screen in the message
    writing area?

    That sounds like another old bug that existed in a previous version where on first start the settings for the text area reverted to black text on ... well I should really read the whole mail before starting the answer ...

    Have a look at your colour config in "File -> Options -> Display" and
    make sure that the editor is NOT configured for black text on a black background.
