I have consistently used the transparent background in chimera in the past. I have upgraded my system to Windows 7 and installed both Chimera 1.4.1 and the daily build from 9/8/2010. When I try to set the transparency to true I get the following: Unable to turn on background transparency. Graphics hardware supports request, but can not switch while maintaining display data. Is there a simple solution for this? Thank you. Dr. Jon N.

Whether background transparency is available or not depends on whether the graphics driver supports it or not. My guess is that you haven't installed the graphics driver for your graphics card yet. I believe that if you run Windows Update, a graphics driver for your card will available as an optional package to install. But instead, I recommend to go directly to the vendor's website and download and install the latest driver. Good luck, Greg
