It's quite annoying. I spent half a day trying to figure out what was going wrong. I uninstalled & reinstalled everything related to Java (except the IDEs) and still encountered the same problem. What problem? Stuff won't load. Applications that use Java just display the title. If I close the window, my computer crashes. Eventually, I was able to trace the problem back to new display drivers I installed the other day. At first I thought that the rolling back the display driver (from ForceWare 81.98 back to 78.01) won't do a thing but well, it did! Now, I can go back to programming...
