Enrique, I have a feeling we have a Java internationalization issue going on here which may account for the problems we are seeing since I cannot reproduce them. You can change the default locale on the Windows machine by editing the C:\Program Files\IDV_5.1u3\runIDV.bat script. At the bottom of the file, there should be something like this: jre\bin\java -Xmx%idv_memory%m -XX:PermSize=%idv_maxpermgensize%m -XX:MaxPermSize=%idv_maxpermgensize%m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Didv.enableStereo=false -jar idv.jar %* After is says "jre\bin\java", please add -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en What happens?
