vista chimera 1.2540 R6025-pure virtual function call error when opening pdb or mrc file

Hi, I have problems with chimera 1.2540 win32 and 1.2539 win32. it is working in version: 1.2524 win32 I installed it an windows vista business sp1. I have also installed visual studio 2008 (9.0). When I try to open either pdb or an mrc file I get the same error window: Title: Microsoft visual c++ runtime library text: Runtimje Error! Program: C:\Program Files\chimera\bin\pythonw.exe R6025-pure virtual function call. the debug command line option just brings: initializing graphics create application loading Tix loading Pmw creating main window creating menus creating toolbar creating lenses initializing OpenGL initializing preferences initializing dialogs initializing COM initializing extensions Return code: 255 Press return or enter to to exit i try to open the pdb file (different files) before the return code: 255 I am not sure if the error actually comes from python.exe - but i could not find anything when searching for it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749 explains the error, but i am not sure how to debug python code Is there a problem with that version of python or chimera with a visual studio installation or this runtime library error appearing independently of having visual studio installed or not. But the older release is working just fine: 1.2524 win32 so some new feature in chimera probably causes the error and might only show up in my environment?! Thanks Nils Woetzel Vanderbilt University

Hi Nils, I created an entry in our bugs database (bug #6031) for your problem. Greg Couch should be getting in touch with you shortly about it. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Jul 17, 2008, at 6:21 PM, Nils Woetzel wrote:

Hello, We've have had one person mention a similar problem on a Vitsa laptop computer, but we have been unable to reproduce it on our Vista systems. Please file a bug report using our online bug submission form at <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/feedback.html>. And please include what kind of computer, its model number and what kind of graphics it has. If I had a computer that behaved like yours, I would try two things: first, I'd try updating the graphics driver, and if it is a laptop with Intel graphics, use the latest driver from Intel (Vista graphics drivers are buggier than Windows XP drivers, so update often). If that didn't work, I'd guess that chimera is somehow being affecting by another program. So then I'd try disabling all of the startup programs using the msconfig program and if chimera works after that, turn them back on one at a time until I found the problem program. Please file that bug report and please let me know what you figure out, Greg Couch UCSF Computer Graphics Lab On Thu, 17 Jul 2008, Nils Woetzel wrote:
