Now that this thread is alive, I'll post a question I have since months ago...
When MMB checks and finds new "metadata" it always detects that the "ImageMetadata_archive" file has to be updated. That's a big one, currently at 24MB, at take its time to be downloaded. Is there really new data on that file every time metadata is updated, therefore the need to download it, or may it be a bug? |

There should be new drivers out any day now, but I doubt those will fix this problem. I hope it's not a unique 'feature' of this card. |

Tesheiner: It shouldn't be doing that, and it's not doing it here (I don't think). Try manually deleting the file (smells like a permissions issue). And/or check your Java version.
OWW: As far as I remember (which is increasingly less far), it just uses Java functionality to access OpenGL. Not much I can do about version incompatibilities at this point. See if any other Java 3D apps are working. |

And/or check your Java version. I moved all metadata files to a backup directory and updating it right now. I will tell here what happens after updating it once again. |

It's still doing the same thing.
I then checked my current Java version and it was 6.17 running in Windows XP. After updating it to 6.21 I tried to enforce a metadata update by deleting the homepage.html and latest2.txt files and the result is the same. CODE There is new metadata at http://midnightmarsbrowser.blogspot.com. Updating metadata. Downloading http://midnightmarsbrowser.blogspot.com...downloaded. Updating metadata file ImageMetadata_archive.csv... downloading new version......................................................................... ................................................................................. ................................................................................. ................. Updating metadata file ImageMetadata_update.csv... same last modified time. Updating metadata file ImageStretchMetadata_archive.csv... same last modified time. Updating metadata file ImageStretchMetadata_update.csv... downloading new version... Updating metadata file LocationMetadata_archive.csv... downloading new version.................... Updating metadata file LocationMetadata_update.csv... downloading new version... Updating metadata file LocationDescription_archive.csv... downloading new version... Updating metadata file LocationDescription_update.csv... same last modified time. Updating metadata file ObservationMetadata_archive.csv... same last modified time. Updating metadata file ObservationMetadata_update.csv... same last modified time. Loading new metadata. Done updating metadata. All "*_archive" files are dated 06Apr2010 but curiously some of them are always downloaded and some others are not updated and "same last modified time" is displayed. |

I've just reset the archive metadata online; not sure if that will help, but it's worth a try. It might only help randomly, since what you're describing sounds suspiciously like a Java version peculiarity. |

Well, now the results I get are consistent; all files (archive and update) were detected as new, downloaded, and I see them dated today Sep 24th around 17:20 (GMT+1). Let's wait some days and I'll tell what happens on the next update which should be the "interesting" one.

With the latest beta forceware drivers (260.63) the 3D-problems are gone. Must have been an immature OpenGL driver.
