Greetings George, This behavior could be triggered by a few things. Quick question: were you able to run the last release of the IDV (3.0u2) without any issues? Also, would you mind running the IDV from the windows command line? You'll need to navigate to the location on disk where the IDV is installed and execute runIDV.bat This will allow you to see what specific error is occurring when everything normally closes by clicking the icon. Cheers! Sean > Download IDV 3.1 for my 32 bit machine seems OK, but when I click on > the desktop icon, it opens, shows a few screens and then shuts down. > No clue what is happening.
