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.

Thanks

Hernando

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:

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:

<image.png>

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

Hernando
