Problems in Windows XP
To whom it may concern: We have been trying to run chimera in Windows XP and unfortunately are not able to do so. The program runs great on the Mac machines though. The only problem obvious for us is, that the collaboratoryHub shortcut does not show up. We can start the program, but when we try to open a file the sequence window starts flickering and the structure does not load. We really like the program a lot and would like to cite it in a paper we are currently working on, but in order to do that we need to get it to work on the PCs. Therefore every advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Jutta, I guess I need some clarification. Is the file you are opening a structure, or a sequence alignment? Is the "sequence window" you refer to an alignment shown in the Multalign Viewer tool, or a structure sequence as shown by the "sequence" button of the model panel? We have encountered a case before where opening a sequence alignment on a Windows machine caused the MAV window to resize itself forever. We were never able to reproduce it on a machine in our lab and therefore haven't found a fix, but we did find a workaround: open a _different_ sequence alignment [the resize loop only occurred for one particular alignment], then use MAV's Preferences->Layout menu entry to change the font size to something different. You should then be able to open the problem alignment without going into a resize loop. I don't know if the previous paragraph applies to your situation or not. If not, let me know the answers to my initial questions and we'll go from there.
