Hi! 
I made a simple multiple choice translation task using radiobuttons. It worked fine at first but then I added more questions (a total of 100 questions now). Now, when I run the experiment the screen goes blank (black) and the questions are not visible. You can still see and click on buttons, however.
Can someone please tell me what I've done wrong?
I've attached the file.
Thank you!

You're not doing anything wrong per se, except putting more items on the page than it is able to handle properly. Generally, I would strongly recommend spreading your questions out across multiple pages, not so much because of the issue, but because participants will find the required amount of scrolling inconvenient and tedious.

Apart from that, you should be able to work around the issue by setting

<defaults>
/ canvasaspectratio = (4,3)
/ minimumversion = "6.5.1.0"
/ screencolor = black
/ txcolor = white

</defaults>

GO
