When you say the IDV is installed on a remote server, are you just
running it with the command pointing to the JAR files on the remote
server, but using the local java?

From your error message, it shows:

Java 3D WARNING : reported GLX version = 1.2
   GLX version 1.3 or higher is required
    The reported version number may be incorrect.  There is a known
    ATI driver bug in glXQueryVersion that incorrectly reports the GLX
    version as 1.2 when it really is 1.3, so Java 3D will attempt to
    run anyway.

Looks like it tried, but wasn't successful.   We are not yet supporting
Java 3D 1.4 on windows, but even the 1.3.2 version needs GLX 1.3.  The
latest ATI video driver support this, so you should update your video
driver to the latest version.  You can usually get this through the
Windows updates.

If that doesn't work, let me know.
