reformat, reinstall, unfluid lw

[washout]

im not sure what version of lw i had before i reformatted.
i have download and tried 4.12.11 now im trying beta 4.13.6.
in both versions it acts different than prior to reformatt.
when the screen maximizes, instead of a fluid popup it loads vertically.
basicly the best i can explain, the whole program is very not fluid.
when i scroll search results, or adjust column widths, its very jumpy.
my downloads/uploads do not seem the be effected.
this a known problem ??

Have you updated your Java? What version are you using?

[washout]

good idea.
i think i saw java update itself in the toolbar somewhere a few days ago.
let me get on it.

[washout]

nope, im running the latest release, 1.6.0.1.

Have you tried using the previous version? Some people are having trouble with the latest version.

Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

Is Limewire (or another program) using most of your CPU? (Look in task manager)

17,000-23,000.
relatively large compared to everything else after a fresh boot.

just noticed something very odd.
im running window blinds, i removed the interface so its normal windows xp.
lw runs smooth as a baby.
very wierd.
i tried other windowblinds interfaces, lw runs fine.
finally went back to the interface i like, and lw is choppy again.

thus the problem is a windowblinds interface called ares.
come with the program, not sure if it comes with the free demo.
