Could be.  A quick thing would be to move the .unidata/idv/DefaultIdv to 
.unidata/idv/DefaultIdv.save and then try the derived quantities.  Tyn's 
webstart probably uses a plugin of some sorts to configure itself.  Are you 
using the webstart link to start the IDV?

If that works, then we can start figuring out what is in that directory that is 
causing the problems.  Could you send me a listing of the files in that 
directory and in the python subdirectory?

Waiting for the rain to start.
