Thanks Derek - I couldn't get win32e working on my new laptop (XP) but adding the c/tmp directory has done the trick.<BR>

In fact, it was only that I needed a c:\tmp directory. If you don't already have one, try creating one and see if that fixes the problem.

Subject: Grads for Windows - win32e<BR>
<BR>
I am finding it difficult to run win32e version (native windows) of GrADS on my windows XP machine. The data desriptor file is not opening and I have tried many methods (even suggested here by some friends earlier) but could not succeed. Now I am looking at GrADS user community or someone from COLA center for help. All files are working perfectly in previous versions! Anything special with Windows XP?<BR>
