FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b121)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b63, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Java is usually running with Intel HD Graphics4000

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 710M (not offen used in the context with Java)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I got the problem that almost all Swing UI Elements that are displaying text or images/icons don't get rendered. They contain some kind of aweful artifacts (like only the first part of a word get rendered or yyou can only see half of the icon).

I made some screenshots but I don't know how to attach them...

There is no problem on developing site but for clients or persons using Java Software it'll be annoying (like for me).

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.8.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b121)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b63, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
It always happens if some text or icons are displayed.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A working and well rendered UI.
ACTUAL -
"Broken" text and icons (see description for some more details)

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Jan 06, 2014 8:47:53 PM java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences <init>
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) r
eturned error code 5.

This happens almost every time I launch an application (not sure if it also come when I'm running console based one). I also noticed that it is not bound to Swing so it also appears if running JavaFX applications.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
