Hi Rich-

Do you actually get a display window?  Usually with this message
you don't end up with a display window.

One thing to try is that if you have a previous version of the
IDV, modify the runIDV script to point to the version of java
in that directory.  We upgraded to a new Java version for the 1.2
release.

Also, are you running this from the console of the machine that the
IDV is installed on, or are your running this through a remote
X session?
