RDXerro is flying high
Default Just a quick Question

I recently downloaded LW Pro and im having some trouble viewing text on searches, downloads and such. I seem to only be getting half or less of eah letter of a word sometime none at all. just wondering if anyone has a fix for this as i think i got to about page 25 in this forum before i gave up and decided to post.

Ive already installed the newest version of Java.

Thanks in advance for any help

Display sounds like a problem with the graphic card or monitor, though I'm not sure.
You could try to right click the LW icon on the desktop and then choose Properties>Compatibility and change the compatibility mode to either Windows NT or Windows 2000..........

First thing to try is to delete the LW preference folder as described in this thread:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420
If this doesn't fix it, uninstall LW and all Java on your computer. The downlaod the JRE offline installer of the newest version (1.5.0_07) from here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Make sure that you reboot after uninstalling and after new-installing of Java before re-installing LW also using the offline installer.exe.
