I can't see any changes made to the drawing, and the pen courser is either missing or frozen in place. The program works but the actual drawing component does not.
Hi Miranda, Since you don't say so, I assume you're on Windows. This is a known bug in the Intel display driver. We're trying to figure out which combinations of hardware and software are broken, so please tell us the exact version of Windows, the exact brand and model of your computer, the version of the display adapter and the display driver. For a workaround, see https://docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#Krita_starts_with_a_black_or_blank_canvas_and_nothing_changes_when_you_try_to_draw.2Fshows_a_black_or_blank_screen_on_my_Windows_system_with_an_Intel_GPU
Please tell us exactly which brand and model of system you have, and which version of display chip and display driver you have. For the driver version, press the Windows key, then type "Device Manager", open the Device manager application and check the Display Adapter dialog.
