SOLVED -- DIM Update Broke My DAZ Studio 4.21

This little window came up in DIM to upgrade somelthing, so I ran it. I thought it was for updating someting in DIM. This resulted in my DS 4.21 becoming unusable. I can't click on anything. DS is white and nothing is clickable. Also, the upgrade for DS 4.22 is gone out of my DIM, and I didn't install it. I've been waiting until I'm sure there are no glitches, so haven't upgraded DS to 4.22 yet. Has anyone else seen this happen? I'll probaly put a ticket in for it, but if someone knows of a fix for it, I thought I'd ask here first.

    You did instal the Daz Studio update - while Daz Studio was runing. Uninstall it and reinstall Daz Studio with the application closed to restore the style files.

    I can't find DAZ Studio in DIM at all now. It seems to have been deleted. So I can't uninstall it and reinstall it. This is so frustrating. I even tried downloading it from my Product Library here on the website, and my computer won't allow me to download it, telling me that it might harm my computer. I guess that's my McAfee interfereing.

    Richard, I found 4.22 in Ready to Download, so I installed it. It's working now! Thank you for helping. It's back up and running again.

    Richard, You have been helpfull to hundreds of people, if not thousands. We appreciate that. Now I am preplexed with 4.22. It should have never been released with so many bugs. I wish I could revert back to 4.21. I am at a standstill.

    Even in the simplest scene a G8F & a spotlight when I switch to Nvidia in the viewport the scene goes black and white, the yellow progress bar in the lower right keeps cycling, but I never get an Iray render in the viewport. If I simply render all I get is a completely black render immediately.

    Is there a way to revert back to 4.21 or is there a workaround to this issue?

    Thanks for your response.

    That sounds like a driver issue - are you using at least 526.98?
