I am still learning, watching instructional videos, trying this and that. Yesterday my timeline panel turned completely black, and I have not been able to revive it. The program monitor above it is black as well. I am assuming I unwittingly triggered a setting that has caused this to happen, but don't know how to undo it.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.
If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).
If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
