The display goes grey or gets corrupted when I resize my IDV display. Whats wrong?
A. ATI cards do not always play nicely with the OpenGL version of Java 3D under Windows. If you experience problems with corrupted displays (sets of triangles, spurious lines, weird looking displays) and have an ATI card and are running Windows, try the following: • Right click on the Windows Desktop and select Properties from the pop-up menu. • From the Settings tab, make sure the color quality is 16 bit. • Click the Advanced button and select the OpenGL tab. Depending on your card, either click the button for Force 16 bit buffer (or something like that) or click on the Compatibility settings button and click the “Force 16 bit” radio button. • Click the OK buttons to exit the Display Properties dialog. • Try the IDV again and see if it works better • If not, try using the Direct-X installer instead of the OpenGL installer.
