Stroke Display Problem in Photoshop

When I apply a stroke to any element in Photoshop, it is there but not visible when I have a background layer with fill color beneath it. When I turn off the fill color, I can see the stroke and when I save the image, the stroke is there. But it is making it very difficult to work with this problem. This is a new problem. I tried closing and reopening the program and file. I tested with a new file and the problem continues to be present. Any help with this will be very much appreciated.

When you use a white Stroke why set it to the Blend Mode »Multiply«?

Screen shots and include your layers. Is the fill color the same color as the stroke?

the fill color is a blue and black gradient. The stroke is white. The blend mode is normal. The same thing happens if I apply a stroke around text or another shape. I even tried on a new image and it's the same. Very strange. Should I uninstall the program and reinstall it?

Try resetting your preferences first - you can select reset prefs on restart under general preferences.

Here is a dropbox folder with 3 screenshots that I believe clearly show the problem. I've never had this problem before and didn't change any of my settings. I really appreciate it if you can help me to get this resolved. Thank you.
