thousands of black rectangles?
Colleagues - Yesterday, I seem to have acquired a case of the Chimera measles. My proteins are being rendered with spots all over them. When I select any atom, all the spots are selected as well. I initially thought it was a problem with that particular PDB file, but formerly fine files all seem to have this problem. The issue seems like it arose spontaneously - I haven't recently updated any software that I'm aware of. I was running 1.2470 under X Windows (Mac OS 10.4.11). I downloaded a new version (1.4.1, Aqua) but the problem persists. Am I being foolish here? Is it simply a setting that I can change?

This sounds like a hardware problem. Are you using a MacBook Pro with NVidia 8600M graphics by any chance? There was a problem with the graphics chips overheating and eventually failing. See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2377>. There may be other models with similar problems. - Greg
