If you are daring, try the nightly installer at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/release/nightly

that's labeled for Windows Vista and let me know what it does.
I've had two different results, so it would be interesting to
see what you get.

Or, you can just wait until I update to the latest Java 3D beta
next week and then try. ;-)
