    SOLVED. Fix: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/582912-275-33-whql-drivers-out-2.html

    Well, I after I got some parts replaced after 2 years of issues solved on my Alienware I tried to download the latest NVIDIA driver(275.33) which I could not install due to a problem finding my hardware grapics.

    However, I just updated the latest driver available on the Device Manager which I tought was a good idea, because I can now run alot of games without any noticeable lagg.
    But apparently after the update, I got some Java issues.
    If I open a java-based web application I get a plain white screen on the application itself on the webpage.
    If I open an executable jar application like forexample Minecraft I get a plain Black Screen over the whole application itself.

    After I did some research about this problem, I believe it's because of the new NVIDIA update I performed.
    I've tried older drivers, I've tried mobile/notebook versions, but the same NVIDIA error seems to persist.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this?
