1,101 PointsI'm doing the first challenge in Computer Basics and I am unable to preview my work at this time. I click the button and
the screen that simulates Workspaces goes black. When I click the editor button the code I wrote shows up again. How do I fix this problem if it happens again?

It's not as handy as when the preview works, but this will get you through the challenge.

Clicking the "check work" button did work.

1,101 PointsThank you for responding, Matthew.
I did just as you suggested (in part because I figured I didn't have anything to lose) and, fortunately, I had the right answer and could go on from there, without any other problems.
