Tammy, Thanks for the helpful information. Is there a good list of graphic cards that are acceptable for Java 3D OpenGL? I have seen one at http://www.glsetup.com/ but the web site is not working now.

I had the opposite situation - installed Java 3D DirectX but the machine didn't have the MS DirectX dlls, this is what I got (Embedded image moved to file: pic13985.pcx) >>Also, what happens if a machine has an old video card from 1995? On a different install experiment I did (installed Java 3D OpenGL) on an old graphics card from 1996, when I ran HelloUniverse (from J3D example) and a couple other 'test if your install works' applets I received no java exception on the JPI but see only a blank screen. Same blank screen when I ran thej appletview or just plain run the class file. So I say the succesful install requies not only the right sequence of install (JDK/JRE install, J3D extension SDK/JRE Install, DirectX or OpenGL Install, etc) you also need to have a good graphics card that can handle the low level APIs.
