What do you mean by that? The Graphics window did not appear, or even the
command line did not appear? Can you get it to work in batch mode? Say,

1) Start the windows command line
2) cd C:\PCGrADS\win32  (or to wherever you installed it)
3) grads -b

If you start Xming first make sure you set your DISPLAY variable
accordingly. For example,

cd C:\PCGrADS\Xming
Xming -multiwindow :7
set DISPLAY=localhost:7.0

Test it before starting GrADS. Say,

cd C:\PCgRADS\win32
rxvt

Xming is way better than the Microimages server (which is based on X11R5).
However, if you start the Microimages server and set

set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
grads

it should work as well. It is better to make sure you have only one X server
running at a time.

I need to know your version of Windows, whether or not you have the Windows
Firewall on, and the kind of anti-virus software. I am very limited as to
the different versions of Windows I have access to, so I need user feedback.
I am hopeful we can work out  these glitches.
