LightWave Problems

I recently got LightWave and have started attempting online tutorials and such. I'm a complete newbie to it, but I'm determined. Unfortunately, I can't do much because I can't see text in text boxes unless I highlight it, as shown in the example below. Is there any way to change that? I tried changing my windows theme and theme colors, but that didn't change anything. Any help is appriciated. Thanks.

Edit: Whoops... XD

The picture you attempted to post/link to, if you did, didn't show up. Might want to try again.
