From your inquiry on GVAR detectors, I know that you are using McIDAS-X v2002. I recommend that you update your McIDAS installation to the most current release, v2005. If you are already registered with our web site, the download is as easy as login into the site and going to the McIDAS part of the Downloads section and grabbing the latest release. Fighting to get an older version of McIDAS working will not be worth effort in the long run.
