Greetings Joe,

The version of Java3D used in the latest version of the IDV is a bit picky 
about the graphic card driver - specifically, it requires that the driver used 
must take advantage of the latest OpenGL (or DirectX) capabilities. Try 
updating your graphic card driver to the latest release and see if that fixes 
things. If not, let me know and we'll dig a bit deeper.

Cheers,

Sean
