Hi Jim,

Just in case you haven't tried already ... have you checked for and installed 
the latest driver package for your video card?

I know that in the past there have been issues with AMD/Radeon GPU's falsely 
reporting that they don't support OpenGL >= 1.2 ...

Subject: [idvusers] IDV Screen Initializes Then Fails

I am attempting to run IDV on a Win8 box that has a quad core AMD processor 
with 8GB memory and an ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 display. Screen initializes and 
then immediately disappears. 

Here is the the output from the command screen.

If images render as a 'grey-box', try setting these parameters to a lower

Otherwise check your graphics environment specifications

Any help is appreciated!.
