"If installing from OSGeo4W, ensure the tcl/tk library is installed."

How do I do that?  I downloaded the OSgeo4W installer & followed the "In the
installer choose Desktop Express Install and select QGIS to install Quantum
GIS."   There's nothing to do?

To see if i missed anything I've just done a clean install on another PC
(win 7 64bit), this time I selected the "custom install" & opted to install
everything, to make sure I didn't miss any TCL/TK items.  After an age & a
reboot, all I got was an error about ippj-5.3.dll missing, so that hasn't
contributed to the solution.

And also
"Also, could you try and run it under GRASS itself."

I've loaded some data into GRASS & Nviz runs OK, so the problem lies with
the implementation of it from QGis.

Can anyone help please?
Many thanks
Jonathan
