Anyone try this with Vista yet. Just installed it yesterday, working great, only need Limewire to be complete! Any known issues?

Tried the Beta version first, program works, but the graphics are pretty messed up, about to the point that it's hard to even read or see what you are looking at. Very, very distorted. Tried to set Vista to run it in an XP environment (Feature of Vista, can run any program in any Windows environment virtually), but that did not work. Only way to make the GUI somewhat legible, was to dumb my entire computer display down to 256 colors. Also uninstalled and tried the commercial version, 4.10, same issue. No different. Interestingly, when I do an "Alt-Prt Scr" and paste the image into Paint, you can see the outline of the window, but everything inside simply looks blank??? (See Attachment) Definitely some sort of graphics incompatibility issue, that hopefully the people at Limewire can patch quickly!

What happens if you change the theme to something other than the Windows theme?

Windows Vista was released? Microsoft.com said it was coming out in 2007.

I tried changing the Theme in Windows Vista to the classic theme, no change. However, I did get a pop up error when I started Limewire that stated that due to the incompatibility of the program I was trying to run, it might not display properly??? Which is exactly what is happening.

Microsoft released Windows Vista Beta 2 to a rather large number of people to begin testing. It is a Beta 2, so it is very stable, and works rather well. Not being a big Microsoft fan, I have to admit that I am very impressed with the OS so far. Besides the issues with Limewire, I have noticed that the entire system slows down whenever you run something that utilizes Java. I do not think the most recent version of Java and Vista are working very well together. This is probably the only big issue I have noticed so far, been running Vista since last Friday. All other bugs I have reported have been very minor cosmetic or small issues.

Are you able to get the beta releases of Java 1.6? The latest updates seem to have fixed various problems with Vista. (I've been chatting with some of the Sun devs, who have mentioned 1.6 will work better.)

Will try to get beta version of Java when I get home today, thanks!
