Colors very dark in Creo 3.0

[Rocks1]

When I switched to Creo 3.0 from Creo 2.0, my colors all seem very dark. When I render something bright yellow, it shows up as a very dark yellow. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get colors to show up bright. Does anybody know what it could be?

Also, all the colors in the palette when I open my materials show up black. I'm guessing I'm missing some sort of setting somewhere.

Hi Rocks1,

your problem is probably related to graphics drivers.

Add the following option at the end of config.pro file, restart CR3 and check your color palette. If it is displayed correctly, then remove the option and update graphics drivers.
