Dear Chimera Users, I installed Chimera in my new PC, working under Vista. Apparently, the installation was fine, but when I started the program I got this error. What can I do? Best regards, Enrico Mugnaioli

I tried this file: "chimera-alpha-win32.exe", but I still have the same error from Vista (in attachment). -----Original Message----- From: Greg Couch [mailto:gregc@cgl.ucsf.edu] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 7:14 PM To: Mugnaioli, Enrico Cc: 'chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu' Subject: Re: [Chimera-users] error in vista On Thu, 18 Sep 2008, Mugnaioli, Enrico wrote:

Now we need to do what the dialog says and run chimera with the --debug option. On Windows, you need to edit the chimera shortcut on your desktop by doing a right-mouse click on the chimera shortcut and selecting the Properties menu item. Then in the Properties dialog, select the Shortcut tab and edit the Target string by appending " --debug" (without the quotes). Vista will warn you about the change, but it needs to be done. Next, when you start up chimera, a separate text (console) window appears with debugging information. When chimera dies, copy the debugging text and email it to me. It's a little tricky to copy the text, you need to right mouse click on the title bar which brings up a menu. In that menu, navigate the Edit submenu and select "Select All" and then bring up the menu again and select Copy from the Edit submenu. Now you can paste the text into your email program and send it me. - Greg On Thu, 25 Sep 2008, Mugnaioli, Enrico wrote:
