I'll explain the problem more clearly. When my video card is set to 32 bit and I run Limewire, the program opens up. However, the window is gray and I can't see any of the buttons. If I click around in the gray box Limewire actually connects, but I can;t see anything - still gray. I tried all the fixes that you list in your signature and I jumped through all kinds of other loops like downloading Java, etc... Then I thought, what if I change the settings on the video card. I tried 16 bit and got the same result. Then I tried 8 bit and finally I could see the window (it wasn't gray). Short of setting the program to run in 256 colors, is there anything else I can try?
