Hi Patrick,
           The visualization error you experienced has something to do with the 
video card driver, we do have a fixed available by installing 
a plugin, go to: Tools > Plugin Manager, and expand the Bug Fixes icon,  double 
click on the + symbol, and then restart the IDV. 

Let me know if this can not fix your problem.
