Need help to reinstall windows version of GrADS properly (OS: Windows Vista)

[See Hai Ooi]

Dear Sir,

      Thank you for your prompt response.

      Yes, I did exactly as what you mentioned.  It had no effect.

      Sorry for my poor description.  I should have sent you my samples (as attached above) for you to verify if needed.  When I altered the vars from 96 (which stands for the number of interpolated pressure levels) to 41 (which is in fact the time steps) in the .ctl file,  I got sawtoothed display (with exponential values) in a7 version but the normal smoothed contours (with ~300 K values) in the a5 as well as GrADS19 versions.

      Again, thank you and best regards.

Ooi

I therefore copied the gv32.exe from GrADS19 (in my thumdrive) into the subdirectory of the latest windows version to resolve my problem.  However, of late I encountered another result display problem.  I made a mistake in the number of levels (41 instead of 95) inside the my control file for computing equivalent potential temperature.  In this latest version, it showed contour display in sawtoothed form with exponential (+e08) values.  But it displayed the right smooth contour values (of ~ 300K) in GrADS19 and v2.0.a5.oga.4 (by uninstalling the latest version and reinstalling the a5 version).  Unfortunately, when I uninstalled and reinstalled again the v2.0.a5.oga.4, I could not run grads at all as it displayed "error in GXSTRT: unable to connect to X server".
