jod123 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Try updating your Java as below: How to Update your version of Java1. Uninstall any version of Java you have first. 2. Visit this website: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp 3. Find the correct version for your Operating system and download/install from here. If that does not work try updating your graphics drivers as below. How to Update your Graphics DriversThis depends on your graphics drivers. Some Computer manufacturers insist you download drivers from their own sites. Please refer to the website of your computer manufacturer before reporting issues with graphics drivers. Here are the websites of the largest graphics cards and chipset manufacturers: Nvidia (Gforce/Legacy) http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk ATI (Radeon) http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html Intel (Onboard Chipsets) http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ There are other manufacturers of graphics card drivers. If you can not find drivers for these cards they may have been discontinued. Please ask in this case as we may still be able to help. Let me know if you get it working.

In the "Open" box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks) , and then click "OK." The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the "Display" tab.
