Limewire completly Grey

When i start up Limewire 4.9.4 Basic,
The windows and limewire itself is completly grey,
They contain no text nothing, but strange thing is i can press the buttons but you cant see them.

Ive tried using Java 1.4.2 than updated it to 5.0 Upgrade 4. But still nothing.

What graphics card do you use? See The way to fix the Blank screen on startup

Im using a Geforce FX 5200 128 MB and ive tried those tips but none of them seem to work. So guess you guys are faced with a new problem :S ive reinstalled java en limewire dosens of times.

i had the same problem, i have an ati 9700 and i had changed the performance settings for gaming to more performance and less quality, when i changed back to factory defaults, limewire worked fine.

so try changing your graphic card settings, start with the default settings and then go from there.

hope this helps

Hmmm so i have to change the settings than back to factory defaults... Seems like a very annoying to keep doing. I think the creators of limewire must see that using Java as a base for there programma is very F'd...

Cause i found out this is not a Limewire problem but pure a Sun Java problem, cause when i want to change the settings from Java via control panel, that panel is grey too. So its pure Java and not Limewire...

I was forced to use lame stuff like IMesh etc.. Bearshare.. Pff all junk if you ask me.
