Default Unable to use superuser permissions

My Sprint HTC hero is rooted running Fresh 2.1.2 and whenever I open superuser or try to run an app that requires root I just get a black screen that says (Su Request) at the top and it just stays their and does nothing. Any takers on how to actually launch the program that requires root or what to do with this screen?

Problem programs:

Cachemate
OverclockWidget
Setcpu
Superuser Permission

Nevermind guys I found the answer:

In case anybody else has this problem the fix is below.

Superuser Permissions program hangs (usually with a black screen or even a force close) at the “SU request” screen?
1-Select Settings > Applications > Development.
2-Make sure that USB Debugging is checked. If not, check it.
If that fixes your problem, you are done. If not:
1-Select Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
2-Find Superuser Permissions on the list. Tap it.
3-Tap “Clear data” and “Clear cache” if they’re enabled.

That is very useful information, moodswang. Thanks for posting your solution for everyone to see.

Sometimes people answer their own thread and say they figured their problem out. Unfortunately, they forget to post the solution that could help others.
