My DX is the current version, 9.0c. Do I place this file as a text file in the same directory as limewire.exe or do I amend/add it to another file that already exists in that directory? I put it in the same directory as limewire.exe as a text file and restarted Limewire but it did not solve the problem. Is there any way to disable Java's use of DirectDraw alltogether using the Java console or by changing a setting in the Java configuration? I ask this because if I use Java in IE as the VM I get the same problem when I go to sites that have Java applets...blurry screen and WMP freaks out big time. Currently I am using Microsoft for my VM and do not have that problem..unless I use Java for my VM.
