[IDV #XXM-526250]: IDV Not Launching

Hi Cody,

I think we should be able to revive the IDV, but I want to do so in a manner
that does not lose the formula work you may have done.

There is probably something wrong in your /Users/Cody/.unidata directory.

As a first step, move your /Users/Cody/.unidata folder (call it something like
.unidata.bak). Don't delete it because you may have formulas therein you wish to
keep.

Also the IDV comes with its own version of Java so you should not have to do
anything there. In fact, mucking with Java may make the situation worse.

Now try to start the IDV. What happens?

Keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
