Very interesting but no reference to my problem I'm afraid.
I have gone back to the start, cleared the hard drive, installed VMS 7.3
and registered the license (choosing the right support files etc.) Then
I loaded the DW-MOTIF layered product and registered the license. In
both cases I followed the install instructions to the letter.
1. It does not come up or even attempt to come up in windows.
2. If you run the IVP and enter the node name or WSA0 (the device
name)
it simply says "cannot open display"
3. I am exactly where I was on Friday.
4. Until I find out what "Cannot open display" means I'm stuck
Regards
Rod

Now for my ultimate goal; load and run DECWindows. I
ran the install
as per the manual (that's a book that tells you everything you don't
need to know and nothing that you do).
