how come everything for me is black?

I see the grid and the axis, and the bg is grey like normal.
But when i add a primitive. Its just black. there is nothing to it. Just flat black. Anyone else have this problem?

I restarted my computer, and re-installed wings3d. Problem
still persists.

If you're referring to the bit towards the end, you might be getting mixed up with the "Smoothed Preview" mode, which is different from the smooth shading mode ("Tab" by default). Smooth shading keeps the existing geometry while applying smooth shading to the viewport, as opposed to "Smoothed Preview", which also uses smooth shading, but also applies a level one subdivivision to your mesh temporarily, which is why it looks a lot less boxy. Hope that helps, and if I've made an incorrect assumption as to what you're unclear about, feel free to ignore me. :p
