For many months now across at least three versions of MMB4W, I get just a blank screen, like this:



I don't have a ">" prompt, and no matter how many times I hit <Enter>, I never get one. CLS RGB(RED) has no result. The window closes if I type "quit" and <Enter>.

I've deleted the .options file in MyDocuments without any change in behavior (it's recreated when I run MMBasic).

I'm running Win10. MMB4W worked for me for a long time after it was introduced. I have no idea what changed to cause this current behavior, and no exact memory of when it started.

Any ideas about how I may fix this?

EDIT: I've just found that if I type MODE 2, I get a prompt, and CLS RGB(red) and CLS work.

EDIT2: And now, everything runs. What weird state was I in that was fixed by entering MODE 2?
