<div dir="ltr">I updated- from Nvidia 310 to 320.something- and that fixed the problem. I'm surprised because the graphics card is ~3+ years old at this point, and it doesn't really make me confident in nvidia.</div>

Your Chimera is dying too early for it to be a normal bug. Since it is right after the "initializing graphics" message, please try updating the graphics driver to the latest from NVIDIA, and double check that your are using a 24/32 bit framebuffer instead of a 16 bit one (if you don't have a choice, then you're fine). If that doesn't fix it, then please file a bug at <a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-bin/chimera_bug_report_2.py" target="_blank">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/cgi-<u></u>bin/chimera_bug_report_2.py</a> and we'll go from there.<br>

Hi,<br>
I have a Windows 8 pro machine, 64-bit 8 GB RAM Core i3 and Quadro FX 570.<br>
<br>
When I start Chimera (x86 and x86-64), I see the splash screen then it says "pythonw.exe has stopped working". When I add --debug:<br>
<br>
Cannot execute 'gzip': no automatic decompression of .Z files<br>
<br>
initializing general preferences<br>
loading Tix<br>
initializing graphics<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I managed to cause windows to try to send an error report, which captured these files:<br>
C:\Users\dek\AppData\Local\<u></u>Temp\WERF405.tmp.appcompat.txt<br>
C:\Users\dek\AppData\Local\<u></u>Temp\WERF464.tmp.mdmp<br>
<br>
if those are useful for debugging, I can provide them.<br>
