I just installed the latest version of Chimera on my Windows Vista operating system (home basic). Everything seems to work perfectly, except that the colors appear to be messed up. The colors appear darker than on my previous computer (with Windows XP). Has anyone else had this problem? All colors in all other programs are normal on my computer except for in Chimera. I assume it is a compatibility issue, but I don't know enough about it to say that for sure. jw

We have seen that bug on Vista when you're using the default graphics driver. To fix it, you need to install the appropriate graphics driver for your graphics card or the integrated graphics on the motherboard. If you have an older computer, there might not be Vista graphics drivers for your setup, so your only option is to buy a ~$40 graphics card and install the driver.
