Hi,this is my first post on this site.

i am also having this problem on my pc.
i have limewire set to start up automatically on boot up, my desktop view switches itself to 8 bit colour and 640X640 resolution,its no where near as bad as your res, my pc is a dell 2.8mhz hd running aol9 on a 6mb connection.i enquired at pc world,and they said the drivers on the graphics card need updating,so i d/loaded the driver from the dell site,but it has not worked,i am really at a loss to know what to do next.
i have just upgraded my version of LM to 4.12.6 ,could there be a bug in this version,because no probs ever with the previous version,perhaps we should reinstall the old version and see if that cures it,having said that the old version is not present anywhere i have looked
regards
malcolm
