I'm running basic version 4.18 on XP x64bit, Avast Anti Virus and a Windows Firewall. I also have the latest version of Java

Basically what happens is, ill install the program just fine but when i load it up the window is corrupted ... it will show the blue window borders and the "Limewire" title header but the inside of the window shows nothing .. i can basically see my desktop through the window. Wired thing is .. i took a screen shot to try and make it easier to explain what it looks like but when i pasted it on paint.. it showed the program properly!!?

if anyone knows this issue let me know .. thanks

Updating your Java might fix it. Use the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions installed, before you install the new one.
Java SE Downloads

If that doesn't help, try reverting to an older Java. Someone recently had probs with LW graphics & found that going back to this version fixed things. Same deal - offline JRE etc
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16

Otherwise, check out this thread for other info: LW loading blank and how i fixed it.

ya i did the offline install
(Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 11)

.. but when i load up LW this time it says i need 5.0 or higher

so i tried offline Java JRE 6_11
i tried offline Java JRE 5_16

either it says needs 5.0 or the same graphical issue occurs

/cry
