Frozen chimera
by hsosa＠aecom.yu.edu 28 Sep '07

I have the following problem: When rotating molecules or volumes the whole computer freezes for a while. Sometimes recover and will freeze again after a few more molecule movements. Sometimes the whole system crash, the blue screen appear and a whole reboot is needed. The problem most likely is graphic card related. I did reported it before and was suggested to change the driver. I did but it did not solve the problem. My system currently is as follow: Chimera 1.2422 Windows XP service pack-2 Dell Precision 530 with Dual Xeon 1.4 GHZ processors and 1 GB RAM Graphic Card: NVDIA Quadro 900 XGL Video BIOS version 4.25.0027.05 ForceWare version: 78.01 Before I had: ForceWare version 91.36 So both of these video driver had problems. I wonder if anybody has experienced something similar and found the right driver. Thanks Hernando

If I manually move and rotate the object in Chimera, how could I know the exact displacements along x, y, z and the rotation angle? Anyone has any suggestion? Thank you! Guiqing ----------------------------------------------------------------

Installing Chimera
by John Beale 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

I have a LINUX computer on which I have been running Chimera for a couple of years. On this system installing Chimera was very straightforward- just click on the executable. I just took delivery on a new Linux system and I have been trying to install Chimera. I downloaded the file from your site (an *.exe file). When I click on the executable my system tells me that the file had been downloaded as an MS/DOS file and I should open the file some other way. The executable would not run. I have no idea what to do with this. Can you suggest a solution? It is strange because it was so easy to install on my previous system. (I am using RedHat Enterprise LINUX). Thank You!

copy and paste a model
by William Jeffrey Triffo 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

is there a way to 'copy and paste' an entire model? for example, I have a volume data map with some surface and volume renderings that I would like to display in a few different orientations (same map, maybe rotated by 45 deg) side by side in the same scene/window. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Triffo Auer Group, Donner Lab, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Raphael Group, Bioengineering Department, Rice University Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), Baylor College of Medicine phone (Berkeley): 510-486-7940 fax (Berkeley): 510-486-6488
