When I open solid works, the screen background is black and I cannot change it. Is the problem related to the video card or screen driver or what. Just remeber, you are what you are
Scott is assuming that you've tried DOCUMENT PROPERTIES -> COLOR -> VIEWPOINT BACKGROUND -> EDIT...
Also check your video card at: www.solidworks.com/swdocs/support/html/videoissues/videotest.cfm
And the usual: make sure you're using all the latest drivers blah blah blah...
