Absolutely right, therefor I was very cautious:
... might help .... might work

since at least to responders were successful with an upgrade to 24+

Title:
  X-1.0rc2: IDE: Windows: crashes on capture --- newest JRE and specific
  grafics equipement (e.g. Intel based)

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  **************** possible solution
  It might help, to upgrade to the newest JRE version (it seems that beginning with version 24 it might work)

  -----------------

  problem situation -------------------

  Sun modified the internals of JRE 1.6 somewhere around Update 10 to
  enable "Direct Draw" by default. This causes the Sikuli IDE to be
  unusable on many machines with particular graphic chipsets -
  particularly those manufactured by Intel. We have submitted an inquiry
  to to the developers to try and figure out a "work around" as their
  stated workaround:

  <app> -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true

  does not revert the behavior to the correct functionality that existed
  prior to the change.

  I have used earlier versions of Sikuli successfully...  But I just
  recently installed Sikuli X-1.0rc2 on Windows Vista 32-bit (a fresh,
  first time install) using the Windows .EXE installer and I am seeing
  behavior similar to that mentioned on a couple of "bug reports".  The
  IDE disappears during capture.

  It occurs using both a single and dual-monitor configuration.

  Even though the IDE disappears, the associated process (javaw.exe)
  continues to run.

  Sikuli was launched using the ".bat" process.  ("C:\Program
  Files\Sikuli X\Sikuli-IDE-w.bat")

  I noted some "similar" reports where the following startup process was
  suggested to capture additional data:

  java -Dsikuli.console=false -jar "c:\Program Files\Sikuli X\sikuli-
  ide.jar"

  When I do this...  The following console information is captured:

  [info] locale: en_US
  [debug] init user preferences
  [info] install hotkey: CTRL+SHIFT+2 for onQuickCapture
  [info] install hotkey: ALT+SHIFT+C for onStopRunning

  Then the IDE successfully appears.  If you click on the "Take
  Screenshot" icon the IDE disappears.  The following additional console
  information also appears:

  I researched the "error" shown above - and all reference articles I
  could find seemed to indicate this was a "path" problem.  But both
  Sikuli and Java are mentioned correctly in my PATH variable:

  C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\libs;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin

  Can anyone familiar with the new version shed some light on why it's
  not working?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks...

  NOTE: I am currently running an older build of Java JRE (v1.6.0 Build
  1.6.0-b105) for testing as the default behavior for "direct draw" was
  changed after JRE 6 update 10 and the Sikuli IDE does not properly
  display when running the latest version of the Java JRE on Windows
  Vista 32-bit - even with antialiasing disabled.
