I currently have an application that uses JFrames

Sounds like a job well suited to using a CardLayout.

..This works except
when it happens the screen remains blank until i minimize and then
restore the program (I can also resize it) for the changes to appear.
I am wondering how to draw the changes to the screen.

A call validate() will probably do the trick, but..*

..I think it has
something to do with the repaint() method???

Please fix that sticky '?' key.
What happened when you called repaint()?

For Reference: I am using a TableLayout class I found on Google as my
LayoutManager

* ..if not, you might need to post an SSCCE
that demonstrates the problem. Note that
to be an SSCCE, you will need to show the
problem in code that uses only classes of
the J2SE - so that TableLayout will have
to go.
