Under the File tab there is a tab labeled "Import Background". Well, I did that not really knowing what it did and now I have a picture in the middle of my screen every time I start a new file. I have tried everything to get rid of it with no success. If anyone knows how to get rid of this background image please respond and let me know. I certainly would appreciate a solution to this self created problem.

Any help appreciated!

Yeah, I did the same thing.

In flipped the camera parameter from auto to manual for the time being, and down in the docking window you have a clean background selection that will get rid of it.

Fortunately, the software is pretty simple. I'd try going to the directory where RDWorks is installed, and look for files that were recently updated. Open each one using Notepad or Wordpad, and look for the filename of the background image. You can then either post the results here, or try to delete that line yourself from the file (create a backup first!!!)
