I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but for some reason Max2D's draw commands seems to only draw black under certain conditions.

Has anyone else experienced this before?

Very Strange, apparently if I call DrawText(" ",0,0) before my DrawLine commands, the drawline commands are shown otherwise they just show black,

Are you setting the draw color before drawing the lines? are you enabling 2D mode and properly disabling it when done?

Yes to both

Post a small sample of the problem... or people won't be able to help you =/

Usually this works:

BeginMax2D()
SetColor 255,255,255
(do your 2d max commands here)
EndMax2D()

And call this AFTER 'RenderWorld' and BEFORE calling 'Flip' (Doing this from memory, so don't know if it's exactly those commands - but it gived the right idea).

try a glDisable(gl_texture_2d). If it's been left on nothing will render. drawtext uses a texture and cleans up after itself, so that may be why nothing show until you've used drawtext.
