Hi John- If you want to try the latest nightly build which uses the previous version of Java 3D, you can download it from: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly This should fix the problem below. Don Murray > > On WindowsXP (Professional - Version 2002), I had downloaded your new > > version of IDV (Version: 2.0RC3) manually (which is the ftp-download, > > compilation, and run) and it seemed to work pretty good.... However, > > when I downloaded the Installation version (or > > "idv_2_0RC3_windows_installer.exe"), and ran it, I seemed to have slight > > difficulty and the only thing I can do (that I thought would help) was > > to take a "snap-shot" of the error message and hopefully, that might > > help you in seeing what the problem is with > > the installation ....

With the 2.0RC3 > version of IDV, we've moved to Java 3D 1.4.0. This version needs the > graphics card to support GLX 1.3. In most cases, this just means updating > the driver for your video card to the latest version. However, since > this may be problematic for some people (i.e. you need to be the > system administrator) we will probably back out to the 1.3.2 version of > Java 3D that we used for the IDV 1.3b2 release. > > > Also, when I click on the icon that was created by the IDV installer > > program, the IDV "icon" window comes up but nothing else (like the > > dash-board or display window)... > > (FYI)... > > I'm guessing that this is just the result of the graphics card not > supporting the latest Java 3D. > > Don Murray.
