I have developed a Java Swing GUI application. Under Windows 2000,
everything including button, text box etc is fine. But under windows XP
default evironment, some text box will dissappear and some button will
be lowered to the side of the application. These scenario happened to
some text box or some buttons, not to all of them. Some text box are
still shown.

When I change the XP performatnce setting under "control panel ->
System -> Advanced -> Performance" to "Adjust to best performance" and
this environment is similar to Win 2000. Then, those disappeared text
boxes appear and those buttons return above the side.

Anyone knows how to fix such problem? Or should I just update the user
guide to ask user adjust performance settings?

Thanks for your help!

Did you use layouts?

Was there a lot of use of 'setSize' in the code?

Change line, 234. That '-' should be a '+'

Can you provide an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem?

Is it the fact that your program is using getSystemLookAndFeelClassName?
You could try to set the look and feel to
"com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsClassicLoo kAndFeel", which is the
Windows 2000 look.

Is this performance adjustment for the video driver? If so it implies
you have a video driver bug. Check with the manufacturer for an
update.

Is com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsClassicLook AndFeel availble
since JDK 1.5? I am compiling the code using JDK 1.4.2 and it failed to
recognize com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsClassicLook AndFeel.
Using JDK 1.5, seems O.K..

Thanks,
