[Chimera-users] Frozen chimera

[hsosa at aecom.yu.edu]

Hi Tom,

I changed the driver to 96.36 and it seems to work better. However,  
still the computer sometimes slow down and freezes for a while  when 
moving  a molecule (pdb: 1ii6) with the mouse. It seems to happen in  
particular when rotating the molecule with the mouse after zooming in 
(by clicking the right mouse button and moving the mouse).

Thanks

Hernando
