Windows XP Video Driver Failure
 

LimeWire Version 3.3.5 / ATI Video Card / Windows XP SP1 - video driver fails (XP recovers from fail but you need to reboot to restore full video and colour resolution) if LimeWire running with any application using DirectX 9.0. My video driver fails with either Windows Media Player if visualisations running or if a screen saver kicks in that is using a visualisation. This is repeatable problem so there is a bug and system is absolutely stable when not running LimeWire - even if it is installed.

Are you using the latest ATI drivers? I hear they fix the incompatibilities of ATI cards with Java Swing applications.

Upgrading to ATI Catalyst driver set fixed the problem - thank you!
