Text position change
 

The text in my LimeWire Pro 4.8.1 has changed position.
Rather than explain I included an image.

oh
 

While it doesn't affect how it runs, it's just annoying and looks weird. Also, the java buttons are vertically larger than before.

2 options I can think of:

1. Increase your monitor size temporarily & drag the bottom right corner up & across & then drag the entire interface to the right.

2. Close LW & try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

ok
 

I'm on 1280x1024 resolution, what should I change it to?
I don't get it.

hmm
 

I deleted the .limewire folder and that didn't change it.

Something larger just for a moment. Some sites force my browser window too large so I have to increase monitor size so it fits into the monitor window & I can quickly drag the corner to reduce its size. Increase the monitor size to say 1280 pxl or 1344 (in system preferences > Display. It will give you 15 secs to decide to keep the monitor size. So quickly drage bottom corner of LW up & to the left. then drag the interface to the right a bit so it's in the middle of the monitor.

Sorry I forgot you're using windows. doh lol But same principle. By increasing the monitor size you will reduce the size of everything in the window. There's also some small arrows you can click to show just one or both sides of the interface. You can also drag the main sections up or down.

Two options: 1. Click on the small arrows on the LW main window. If that doesn't work click it the other arrow. 2. Drag the partition up or sideways; see examples here: Example A (click on link) & also Example B (click on link)

thanks
 

thanks for all your suggestions, i tried them but they didn't work.
maybe this shows more what i mean:

No apply or ok button. Sift thru those links I gave you (I edited them in late) & I think you'll find your answer.

If none of those work then re-install Java using the link I gave above & save the installer to your computer before installing. Don't install over the net. Uninstall the previous version 1st.

No, all the buttons are there. That's the initial screen after I'd deleted .limewire folder so that's why Apply and OK weren't there.
Here's another image:

The text itself is just not lined up with the textboxes.
I looked through all the links and have found nothing to fix this, but I will download java again.
I'm using 1.5.0.02, i think that's the latest but even if it is i'll download it again. I'll post back when i've done that. Thanks.

What Display Adapter do you have?

It looks like you're somehow using Java 1.3. Click on Help -> About and it'll tell you what version of Java LimeWire is using. It should be 1.4 or higher. If it isn't, uninstall older versions of Java from your control panel.

ATI Radeon 9200 series, is that what you mean?

Look up to my last post, at the end of it.

Not sure if you have seen this post yet. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=34408

This may or may not help.

hmm
 

how do i get to that screen?
the one i have is different:

http://www.redskiesdesign.com/random/ati.jpg

I did, but I want you to check within LimeWire to see what LimeWire is using, not what you think it's using.

you should be able to click on the 3D button. To view your 3D settings.

The img. I posted was from the ATI control panel. Not the Catalyst

I should've specified in that post, sorry for the confusion. LimeWire is using 1.5.0.02

Are these all right?

The problem may be the control center. Instead of using Catalyst, get the one that integrates with Control Panel. Lotsa people seem to have problems with catalyst.

hmm
 

I don't see why that would be the problem, I've had the same system setup for months and this limewire problem only happened 2 days ago. Before that everything was running great, including limewire. I don't know what caused it to suddenly go crazy.

I also believe this to be an ATI driver problem, and not a LimeWire problem, as I have installed and used the updated drivers and catalyst.

I have had problems with other applications I use also, which are not part of LimeWire and Java, and will not go any further as they do not pertain to LimeWire nor this forum.

so...
 

to fix it i should un-install and re-install ATI?

Yes uninstall the catalyst, and roll back the drivers and just use the control panel and set it as explained in this thread.

If you cannot roll back the drivers then go to the ATI website and just d/l the previous drivers and control panel, and not the catylyst.
