Thanks Elaine, Yes, it was a driver related problem. It seems that my computer got an automatic "update" that broke things up (GPL libraries??). After removing/reinstalling, the Radeon graphics driver. Chimera now works fine.

Hi Hernando, Did the graphics driver change? This is probably a graphics driver bug -- it sounds like the same thing two other people reported this month, and we've just been advising people to update the graphics driver to the latest version, as in this post: <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplato.cgl.ucsf.edu%2Fpipermail%2Fchimera-users%2F2021-December%2F018247.html&data=04%7C01%7Chernando.sosa%40einsteinmed.edu%7Ca913fd40e8e44c26bea608d9ba8bc413%7C9c01f0fd65e040c089a82dfd51e62025%7C0%7C0%7C637745931723935783%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=8BPhn8HW%2Be5ddEDIlw0YFVnr5wHwVNNwOmiAMlO6SVQ%3D&reserved=0> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimera,
I cannot open Chimer anymore in a computer (Windos10 64) where it was running until yesterday. I tried with no success reinstalling the program and installing the latestChimera daily release.
The error that I get at startup says:

If I start in debug mode I get the following error in a command window:
Cannot execute 'gzip': no automatic decompression of .Z files
initializing general preferences loading Tix initializing graphics Return code: -1073741819
How can I resolve this issue?
Thanks
