[AWIPS #PHZ-247370]: problems with installing on windows

Hi there,

This is very strange behavior, and not something I've heard of before. Just for 
one attempt, 
have you tried stopping CAVE, removing caveData, and starting it again and see 
if the problems
still persist?
Refer to this page for how to remove caveData:

Have you tried clicking inside the vm  window, tried resizing or maximizing the 
vm window?  
Do any of those tricks change the size of the actual vm screen?

You have the correct hardware to render all the data natively, so I'm still 
confused why the
direct install is giving you issues.

Please let me know if any of those suggestions make any differences.
Thank you.
