This issue crops up on other systems, but unfortunately, we have not been able 
to reproduce it here.

First, make sure you have the latest video driver.  See my previous note on how 
to update.  If that doesn't fix it, please try the following.

Download and install the latest nightly build.

Import the attached properties file as a plug-in or just place it in the 
.unidata/idv/DefaultIdv/plugins directory of your home directory.

Restart the IDV and see if that makes a difference.  If not, you can remove the 
plugin.

Let me know either way.

Don
