Here are a couple of things to try: 1) install the latest version (2.8u1) and see if you still have problems. Make sure it installs to a different directory. 2) If that doesn't work (or if you can't upgrade), try renaming the IDV resources directory: - rename the .unidata/idv/DefaultIdv directory under your user account to DefaultIdv.bak - start the IDV, load in the file and see if you get the displays to show up when you click on a field. If that works, then there is a problem with one of the preferences stored in the IDV resources directory. Have you customized the IDV with a plugin or by changing the preferences (possibly removing the displays in the Preferences->Available Displays tab)?
