running Max 4.6.2 on Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.8:

I am having difficulty changing the colors of my ovals/rings/rects/frames generated from the object of the same name. The colors do not deviate from black, despite my commands for doing so. This error is common to downloaded demo versions of the latest Max on Macintosh computers, for the same phenomenon occurs in my friends downloaded vesion.

Is there there some setting I have overlooked, because when opened on the copy of Max at my school, my patch exhibits beautiful myriads of colored ovals.

Even in the help file, changing the numbers that go into the color inlet of the oval object changes nothing. This is the downloaded version, and it happens on both my imac intel and my friend's macbook pro. On the powermac G5 at school the colors change perfectly. The colors are an integral aspect of the patch I'm designing. Which is why I'm making a big deal of it.

How does the color palette look like? (You can change it in the options 

If you have a patcher which changes the palette, it will remain changed...

the palette in the "colors" selection of the options menu seems to be immaterial to my problem. RGB colors work, but colors intended for shapes (one number colors) do nothing. Make an oval object and alt click it to view the help file. Try to change the colors at the bottom of the help file while watching the graphic window with the shapes activated and changing. No color changes occur. Try changing the colors of the oval in the graphic help file. It doesn't work here either.
