Hi Mey, 'java SatDisplay' runs OK for me too. If you are willing to edit and compile AreaAdapter.java and run from source rather than visad.jar, could you please try the following change at lines 164-165 in AreaAdapter.java: throw new VisADException( "Problem getting Area file directory or navigation: " + rmd); This will give us a little more infromation about the Exception (and I'll make this change in VisAD too, although it won't appear on the ftp server for a while). Thank you.
