Java GUi Being inconsistent

Hi so I am trying to creat this menu for the game, and when I run the code it is very hit or miss. In the same computer with same screen same OS and everything the same, I might run the code ones and the menu is fine. and then I run it again and the pictures are missalighed or the just disappear and so on. I have tried changing the order of the contentPane.add but and I am out of ideas. What else could it be? Thanks

public static int type(){
      // Create a "clickable" image icon

    int i =0;
    Color c = new Color (0,0,0);
       ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("images/mike_main.png");
       JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
       ImageIcon icon1 = new ImageIcon("images/igal_main.png");
       JLabel label1 = new JLabel(icon1);
       JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();

       JLabel label3 = new JLabel("Choose your character!");
       JLabel mike_l = new JLabel("Mike");
       JLabel mike_info = new JLabel("<html>Speed: 10<br>Range: 7</html>");
       JLabel igal_l = new JLabel("Igal");
       JLabel igal_info = new JLabel("<html>Speed: 7<br>Range: 10</html>");


       label3.setBounds(600,100,2000,100);
       label3.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 56));
       label3.setForeground(Color.WHITE);


       contentPane.setOpaque(true);
       contentPane.setBackground(c);
       contentPane.setLayout(null);
       final JFrame frame = new JFrame("My Window");
       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
       frame.getContentPane().add(label);
       frame.setTitle("The Ultimate Game");
       frame.setExtendedState(frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
       frame.pack();
       frame.setVisible(true);
       label.setBounds(400,400,300,600);
       mike_l.setBounds(500,330,1000,100);
       mike_info.setBounds(750,500,1000,100);
       //label.setLocation(50, 50);
       label1.setBounds(1200,400,300,600);
       igal_l.setBounds(1300,330,1000,100);
       igal_info.setBounds(1550,500,1000,100);
       //label1.setLocation(250, 250);
       mike_l.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 26));
       mike_l.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
       mike_info.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 26));
       mike_info.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
       igal_l.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 26));
       igal_l.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
       igal_info.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 26));
       igal_info.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
       contentPane.add(label);
       contentPane.add(label1);
       contentPane.add(label3);
       contentPane.add(mike_l);
       contentPane.add(mike_info);
       contentPane.add(igal_l);
       contentPane.add(igal_info);

       frame.setContentPane(contentPane);
       label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
           public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me) {
             System.out.println("CLICKED");
             frame.setTitle("Mike");
           }
         });
       label1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
           public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me) {
             System.out.println("CLICKED");
             frame.setTitle("Igal");
           }
         });
       while (i==0){
       //System.out.println("I am here");

       String s = frame.getTitle();
       System.out.println(s);
       if (s.equals("Mike")){
        i =1;
       }
       else if(s.equals("Igal")){
        i = 2;
       }
       // Add it to a frame.


    }
       System.out.println("im out");
       frame.setVisible(false);
       return i;

   }

I think the issue is that your are calling frame.setVisible(true) before you are done making changes to frame. If you move this (and maybe the pack() call) pass all your add()s and after you setContentFrame(), then your window will open more reliably.

As for the alignment, that is going to come down to all your setBounds() calls. If you don't need to use setBounds() you should probably look into Layout Managers and nest JPanels for modular sections of you're design (e.g. character info).
