[Chimera-users] problems with starting Chimera

[Greg Couch]

This is a graphics driver problem.  Please upgrade your graphics driver to 
latest version available for your computer.  If you have a laptop, get the 
graphics driver from your laptop vendor (unless you have a NVidia GeForce 
7 Go or an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 or newer).  Otherwise, if you have a 
NVidia graphics card, get the latest driver -- likewise for ATI, 3DLabs, 
Intel, SiS, etc.
