Color editor doesn't open

NN136149UL
While in the local adjustments tool I try to expand the color editor and it will not open. Sharpening, moire and the other tools open just fine.
Went to the color tool and tried to open the color editor but no luck there either. Black&white, whitebalance etc open ok.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Windows xp C1 6.0.1

Edit
What I'm trying to do is selectively whiten eyes and or teeth, but I'm not finding any info in the help. Is there any plans for selective whitening?

    Have a look at my identical problem in the C1 5.x Windows section. I get it in v5.x and v6.

    It seems to be associated with the Windows screen font size. I had changed mine from 96dpi to 120, in order to read my laptop screen. Changing back solved the problem.

    C1 5 and 6 demands a font size of 96dpi. I was advised this was "a requirement" not a bug!

    Yep, I thought that, as well.

    Hope this helps.

    Well I tried your solution to the unusable color editor problem with C1pro and I did get it to work by changing the resolution to 96dpi instead of the 120dpi that I normally use.
    The 96dpi setting seems to be awful erratic and the slider function seems to freeze when I try to make adjustments.
    With that ...I'll switch my resolution back to 120dpi so I can better view my monitor for my other editing applications.
    Thanks for your help

    << I'll switch my resolution back to 120dpi so I can better view my monitor for my other editing application >>

    That's what I've done and have effectively given up using - and investing time in - C1.

    Such a pity, it gave great colours.

    Knowing it was a "bug" that would be fixed is one thing but being told it was "a requirement" was a huge turn-off.

    I can open the color editor in version 5, but not in version 6 on my laptop. Looks like a bug to me.

    Is your screen set to 96dpi or another value (as discussed in this thread).

    Have you been able to read this thread already? I mean, the solution was discussed here already, that 96dpi is a prerequisite as per release notes.

    Yes, of course I've read it. Have you?

    "I'll switch my resolution back to 120dpi so I can better view my monitor for my other editing application"

    Switching to 96dpi not a solution. The solution is to not use version 6 and stick with version 5 on a windows 64bit laptop, or to not use version six on a lap top. Or not use the color editor at all.

    Or Phase One could fix the bug.
