LimeWire Display Glitch - overlapping text

[flare291]

Hi, i have been searching around google as well as these forums for a solution to this, but haven't been able to find anything

Basically, right from startup of limewire, text glitches up.
If I type something into the search bar, it will appear as if there is nothing typed, not until I maximize / Minimize the window will it appear in the box.
The same applies for search results
When searching, a bunch of results will appear, but then as it refreshes more results, they appear overlapped by the other results. Again, maximizing or minimizing the window resets it.

It has become a nuisance trying to search for things, and pressing buttons when they disappear, or not knowing if I had searched something or not etc.

Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?
I have tried reinstalling limewire

Limewire 5.5.8
Windows XP Professional
I have used the program in the past and it has worked fine

Windows Firewall, but turning off does not affect problem

Try this: Reinstallation Technique Oh, make sure you backup your Downloads.dat file before deleting the LW preferences folder.

My first thought is a Java issue. However, changing compatibility mode might help also.

The newer version LW is 5.5.14
