Chimera POVRAY and Vista?
Dear Chimera team,
First of all congratulations for a really nice program and thank you
very much for making it available to the community! I like it a lot.
I was nevertheless running into a problem when trying to create povray
pictures on a windows vista PC. Is there anything i can do about it?
With my best regards,
sincerely yours,

Which version of chimera are you using? This is supposed to be fixed in 1.2422, but I see that at least part of the fix didn't make it into the Windows distribution. Please try out tomorrow's test build (Oct 09, 2007) from http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/alpha-downloads.html and if the bug is still there, use the "Report a Bug" dialog in the Help menu to file a bug.
