Hi Kevin,
have you looked at http://support.wolfram.com ?

There quite a lot FAQs, eg.: Graphics/Contour.Density/DensityBlack.html
:



How do I render DensityGraphics so that I don't get an entirely black
    image? 



    Try the following if your DensityGraphics (created by DensityPlot or
    ListDensityPlot) appears as all-black graphics. 

         The Mesh may be so tight that it covers the graphic. Try using
the option Mesh ->
         False. 

         Under Windows, the display may be set to a color setting that
causes a PostScript
         error. Go to the settings in the Display Control Panel. 

         Start|Settings|Control Panels|Display|Setting

         Change the setting for number of colors. High Color(16-bit)
should resolve the error.
