Hey there
I've been using UCSF chimera for some time with no problems but it is having trouble starting up, this is the error message:
Cannot execute 'gzip': no automatic decompression of .Z files
initializing general preferences
loading Tix
initializing graphics
Return code: -1073741819
Press return or enter to to exit
precisely like this gentleman:

dxdiag info is attached, nothing wrong jumps to me.
What I've tried:
- uninstalling and reinstalling Chimera
- manually installing GZIP for windows ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/gzip-for-windows/ )
- updating drivers (graphics drivers and chipset drivers)
- getting the alpha version of the program
- going to and fro compute mode in the the graphical settings
I'm using Chimera 1.15 and this is my hardware
chipset b550m
ryzen 5600x
RX 590
in trying to fix it I learned about ChimeraX, I'm learning to use it, but I would still like to keep chimera until i can properly stop and change my workflow
thanks so much, let me know if I missed any info
