Kaom - That's what I've been doing all night. All that I get though is the black square that you get when you hit "New". On any filter that I use, nothing shows up in the little preview screen. And clicking apply, in the hopes that something is invisible, doesn't help. I've had Bryce 4 since it came out and that's what I always came up with (also in the 2D lab) so that's why I couldn't understand what use the plugins were. Could there be something wrong with the programme itself?
