My default background/work area has been transparent--displayed as a light gray and white checkerboard--forever.

Today it changed to dark gray. It's still transparent, but it shows up on the screen as dark gray. I want it back the way it was. I've read all the solutions on the Adobe forums (using the magic wand, or the background eraser, etc.) and none of them work.

I can't help but think I inadvertently changed some setting, but I sure as Hell can't figure out what I did.

Frank Z you're my hero! I had been there and made a change (I selected the "Use Video Alpha" checkbox), but couldn't find my way back.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
