Look for the runIDV.bat file in your installation folder, uncomment the line with "MaxPermSize=128" and comment out the line above it, this will let you run the IDV with 128m maximum perm size. If you the problem doesn't go away, increase this number to 256m. If you still have problem to display the dataset, please upload a sample file here: http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload Yuan > > -----Original Message----- > From: Unidata IDV Support [mailto:address@hidden] > Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 2:41 PM > To: Koontz, Annette S > Cc: address@hidden > Subject: [IDV #EHM-651770]: IDV version 3.0u1 > > Hello Annette, > > Are you running the latest version of the IDV?
