The most common fix for chimera bugs is to update the graphics driver on your system to the latest version.  If doing that doesn't fix your bug, then please send email to chimera-bugs@cgl.ucsf.edu with the information from the dxdiag program (specifically the System and Display tabs, but it easier to press the "Save All Information" button to save the contents to file and attach that file to your email).

Hi,

I installed Chimera 1.5.3 in my system today. I have a Windows 7 64-bit machine with a processor that is, Intel i7-2600, CPU@ 3.40 GH

After I open the image, I get the following error. I copied this from the debug window of Chimera. 

initializing general preferences
loading Tix
initializing graphics
create application
loading Pmw
creating main window
creating menus
creating toolbar
creating viewer
initializing OpenGL
initializing preferences
initializing dialogs
initializing COM
initializing extensions
Return code: -1073741819
Press return or enter to to exit

I would be glad if anyone can help me fix this issue.

Thank you.
