[IDV #GVY-132765]: Data images won't display in IDV

Greetings Mike,

Do you see the default background map and wireframe outline in the Display 
Window, or is it completely black? If it is totally empty, try updating 
your video card driver to the latest version. If updating the driver does 
not work, you may try switching over to the direct3D backend for java3d - 
this can be done by editing the runIDV.bat file. Towards the bottom of the 
file, you'll see the following lines:

@echo on
jre\bin\java -Xmx%idv_memory%m -XX:MaxPermSize=%idv_maxpermgensize%m 
-Didv.enableStereo=false -jar idv.jar %*
@echo off

Comment out the jre line (use REM) and remove the REM from the line below 
the comment discussing the use of the D3D version of Java 3D.

If running the IDV using D3D does not work, try downloading the previous 
version of the IDV (2.9u3 - 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/2_9u3/index.jsp). If 2.9u3 works 
and 3.0u2 doesn't, it may be that your video card is no longer supported 
by java3D.

Cheers,

Sean
