I am having a weird java problem – For some reason quite often when I open a dialog it becomes black. When I force a repaint (for example, draging it out and into the screen again) it draws itself normaly again.
The problem seems to occur only on my computer (The same code works for a friend), and its not just one class – it seems that almost every dialogs I open (on different projects) gets this problem. Even JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() gets this problem.
Even weirder, it even happens when I am opening the java control panel!
What can I do? It drives me crazy!
If it matters I am running on windows 7, My GPU is ATI HD4800 with the latest CATALYST driver installed.
Thanks in advance!

Generally every problem I’ve seen regarding java flickering, black windows etc was on an ATI card. Even I have the issue on HD3450 and Win7 64-bit.
