*** Issue 74735 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
I can't reproduce. Please, give me the steps to reproduce the issue. Any special settings?
Since my issue has been marked as a duplicate of this, I should probably reproduce some information from my issue: This error -for me- occurs when I try to run the IDE from a domain-user, i.e. non-privilegded, account. Running the IDE as local admin works fine. Before reinstalling WinXP SP2, I ran the 4.x IDE in the same account without a problem.
I found it - it is JDK bug, already fixed in JDK 1.6.x. Bug appears only when running Windows XP with custom theme, so workaround is to use standard themes. For more info see http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=64380 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 64380 ***
