I had a major problem with my computer - too long a story - Needless to say a computer shop technician had to reinstall my operating system, Windows 7, install Microsoft Office 2016. Of course there were several other programs that had to be reinstalled. So recently I downloaded the latest version of Chimera and have been able to work with PDB files and do all the things that I am used to doing. However, I always save the sessions that I have worked on. They are saved to the desktop C:\users\user\desktop The session files are saved to the desktop. Now comes the problem. When I double click on the file I want [cid:image002.png@01D2A987.C67BFFE0] I get the following message [cid:image001.png@01D2A986.AAC7D360] If I right click on the file then in the menu window click on open with Another window opens with Chimera being the recommended program. Click on OK and the same window as above comes up. This happens even with a .py file that I worked on today. I am puzzled. Ideas will be appreciated. Arthur G. Szabo
Hi Arthur, I would start Chimera and then use its File… Restore Session (or File… Open) to open the session file. Maybe others know how to fix this double-click thing but I never use Windows so I couldn’t say. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hi Arthur, Try using the Tools / Utilities / Browser Configuration dialog to get back double click support. It might not work on Windows 10, but without a user's bug report, we have too much other stuff to work on to investigate it. -- Greg On 03/30/2017 03:59 PM, Arthur Szabo wrote:
