another installation question:

I've been trying to install 2 programs, and when the usual box comes up with "Download/Cancel" and "Set Application Permissions" the text box is completely black. If I roll the trackball around, some white garbled text shows up where the app description would normally be.

Needless to say, that leaves me a little hestitant to install the actual application. What's going on?

It's a little hard IMO for anyone to help you with the amount of information you provided. Maybe if you provide the name and link of what you're trying to install, someone may be able to help.
