Jitter has changed all of a sudden

Max stopped working and I had to reinstall it and delete my prefs in C:/Documents and Settings/.... blah

Plus when reinstalling it I had to reinstall my graphics card drivers (Radeon Omega drivers) but I reinstalled the same version. I also uninstalled and reinstalled java ver 1.42 (I also have java runtime 6 I dunno which jitter uses but I know processing prefers 1.42 so that's why I keep it).

Anyways after all this messing about my jitter patches now run really slowly, the colours look washed out and a red fps counter has appeared in the top right corner.

What do I have to do to get back to normal.
