I have a related problem, when I try to run the IDV 1.3A2 app for Mac OS X, I get the following error: "Could not launch the application because it requires a version of Java that is not installed. This application requires Java 1.4, but only 1.4.2 and 1.3.1 are installed. Updating to a newer version of Mac OS X may resolve this issue." I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9, obviously with Java 1.4.2. I can run the older version of IDV (1.2). I also can run the IDV 1.3A2 using the "runIDV" executable that came with the package. --Alan Klein --- "Mark J.
