I knew it!.. I am running SLI... and guess what? I have the same problem. I can't find any info that helps. Not many people appear to be having this problem. It all makes sense now since not many run sli. I have tried several versions of limewire / java / nvidia drivers.. same thing.. ONLY limewire does this...

To state again what others have said.. the text is busted.. either it's not there or it's only partially there. All text including the menus. Skins do not make any difference... it appears to be a sli/driver/java issue.. sucks cuz limewire kicks *** but I can't see a damn thing.
