No 3D bar plots in MathCad 14.0.163 build 701291152

Whenever I click the 3D bar plot icon in the Graph toolbar or click the menu items Insert => Graph => 3D Bar Plot, I get a small box around a single rectangular placeholder on the worksheet, but no graph. I try inserting a vector into this, but all I get is the vector name, still no graph. How to get Mathcad 14.0.163 build 701291152 to properly insert 3D bargraphs or 3D contour plots?

I seem to recall 3D contoiur plots working in a prior version of MathCad.

Thanks.

I've got the same version/build (I think) and I've no problems. What do you see when you open the attached file?

Fred:

I get an error dialog "Failed to launch server application", and a squarish outline area where the 3D bar graph would probably otherwise appear.

Do I have a problem with my Vista installation?

I'm hoping to install 64-bit Windows 7 on this machine as soon as I'm through with my last final in a couple weeks, and it may not exhibit this problem after that - *IF it's an OS problem.*

Thanks.
