Paul,

Running older versions of the IDV is not recommended.

I am curious to know what errors you are running into. It may be a simple matter
of updating your graphics card driver.

On the computers in question, please download and install the latest version of
the IDV corresponding to your operating system.

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/current/index.jsp

After installation, open a Command Prompt window.

Run the program

C:\Program Files\IDV_52\runIDV.bat

What errors do you see?

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
