Hi again, I just "solved" it by setting the compatibility mode of java.exe to XP. Now I get
[W] GetFlagValues: DDraw screen locking is disabled (W2K, XP+) [ I ] InitDirectX [V] CheckRegistry: Found Display Device 0: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS [ I ] CreateDevice: lpGUID=0x3acfa8 hMon=0x10001 [ I ] DDSetupDevice [ I ] DDraw::CreateDDPrimarySurface: back-buffers=0 [V] DDSetupDevice: successfully created primary surface [V] DDSetupDevice: successfully setup ddraw device Image Caps. isAccelerated: true Image Caps. isTrueVolatile: true Buffer Caps. isPageFlipping: true Buffer Caps. Flip Contents: Prior Buffer Caps. Full-screen Required: true Buffer Caps. MultiBuffers: true Current Display Mode: (1280,1024,32,60) [ I ] InitDirectX [V] CheckRegistry: Found Display Device 0: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS Display mode set to: (1024,768,32) etc...... (lots more) Looks good, but I'm wondering if there is a better way. In another forum I found that java 6 uses DirectX 7 (DirectDraw) which can "collide" with Vista's Desktop Window Manager.
