However, there seems to be a problem with one of the >computers. What is the safest way to >de-install IDV so that I can try to install it again. It depends how you installed the IDV. If you used the InstallAnywhere installer: - go to the directory where it was installed (usually c:/Program Files/IDV_1.2b2 under windows or /home/user/IDV_1.2b2 under Unix) and then look in the UninstallerData directory under that. You should see an uninstaller program there which will remove the program. - If you are using Windows, you could also go to the Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs menu and remove the IDV through that route. If you are using Web Start, click on the link: http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/player.jnlp to bring up the Web Start application manager. Click once on the Integrated Data Viewer icon to select that application and then use the Application->Remove Application menu item to remove it.
