Problem with SDK Install?

I'm wondering if I have a problem with my SDK installation. I've installed the 1.4.2_90 version of the SDK. JLabels, JButtons, etc fail to show when running swing applications compiled with this version of the SDK.

I've uninstalled / reinstalled multiple times, each having the same results.

Any ideas on how I can solve this problem? Anyone else experienced this same problem?

Attempting to run these applications on a (laptop) Pentium M 1.73 with 1gb ram, ATI mobile 300x card.

Any help would be appreciated.

do they compile ok and are just not being displayed?...if so, make sure you make whatever component they are in visible with: setVisible(true)

Compiles fine and setVisible is set to true.

The main reason I started to look into this issue is that I was attempting to run a java application and noticed that it didn't display its components properly (JEdit). Seems to run properly on my desktop, just not my laptop.

that's weird....do you have the same VMs on both systems?

I'm running Java VM 5.0 on all machines. The only one I'm seeming to have problems with is the laptop.

Turns out that it was an issue with my video card. I reflashed my bios with my manufacturer's lastest updates, reinstalled my video drivers and that solved the problem.

Thanks for the help.
