i have, but it wasn't my game. im not sure if this helps, but try getting new graphics card drivers. if you have the latest, try a better computer with a better card.
i think not accelerated means not supported by graphic card.

Wel it works fine on my developement pc and most other pc's. im just trying to make it run on as many pc's as possible.

The issue went away when i reduced the max memory setting in my jnlp file from 1024 to 512. But pc's with 1gb or less total memory stil gets it. I guess its time to properly profile. I should be able to make it run with much less than 256 meg :D

Just weird to get that error due to a memory setting. And to only get in i java webstart and not normaly.
