Hello Ron,

We do not currently have a Windows based version of the LDM.  

And, I'm sorry but Unidata is funded by NSF to provide support to only
certain types of institutions.  Please see
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/legal/participation.php for information
regarding our participation policy.  In particular:

"Unidata provides direct support via email for its software packages to
institutions offering college-level courses for credit, and to
non-profit institutions with education or research missions."

If you wish, you could join the ldm-users mailing list (see
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailinglist/mailing-list-form.html.)  It's
possible that if you post your questions there someone may help you. 
And, you are welcome to use any of our on-line materials, including our
support archives available at 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpsedocs/ghldm.html and
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/search.html.

Good luck with your LDM.

Anne
