Limewire not loading(AGAIN)
 

Hi all, I've posted about this problem once or twice previously. Basically when I click to load up Limewire, it loads up with what would be the loading screen but then turns white. The full interface window loads up then but also in white too. My drivers are fully updated and I installed them the right way, in that I uninstalled the previous ones and cleaned them out and then installed the new ones. I did this with the 5.7 Catalyst drivers of my ATi card and I still had the same exact problem.
I would like to know why this is happening as it didn't happen before I installed the 5.7 Catalyst drivers, I currently have their new 5.8 Catalyst drivers installed and I had hoped those would fix this problem like the 5.6 drivers did but they were no help.
When asking about this problem previously, it was also mentioned that maybe there is a problem with my Java environment or something along the lines of that. Could someone further explain the details of that cause?
And also any further suggestions about what could be going wrong here are appreciated.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you can help me fix the problem.


Cheers,

James

Thanks for those solutions to the problem Grandpa but I'm having a problem with them. Although returning my graphics card settings to default DOES fix the problem, I need to once again changed the settings in my graphics card in order to use anti-aliasing in Microsoft Flight Simulator but then I'm back to square 1 and I have the same problem again. I don't like the idea of having to edit my graphics card settings all of the time just to run LW.

Hmm...
 

Well I personally would blame ATI for this problem ... write them a mail that you dislike it and they should check wether java is using DirectX and if true, disable AA:

There's really nothing the java-team could do about this, and even for card-manufacturers its not really easy to solve since YOU force all programs to AA.
Since you FORCE them .. what should they do?

This is a short-term fix which disables all the nice advanced hardware-accerlation features of java:
Start your limewire as following:

java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -jar LimeWire.jar

in the Console and the same directory limewire is installed.
