<div dir="ltr">Hey there <br>I've been using UCSF chimera for some time with no problems but it is having trouble starting up, this is the error message:<br><br><i>Cannot execute 'gzip': no automatic decompression of .Z files<br><br>initializing general preferences<br>loading Tix<br>initializing graphics<br>Return code: -1073741819<br>Press return or enter to to exit</i><br><br>precisely like this gentleman:<br><a href="https://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2019-April/015675.html">https://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2019-April/015675.html</a><div>and this <br><a href="https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2011-December/007021.html">https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2011-December/007021.html</a><br><br>my <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">dxdiag info is attached, nothing wrong jumps to me.
What I've tried:
- uninstalling and reinstalling Chimera
- manually installing GZIP for windows ( </span><a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/gzip-for-windows/">https://sourceforge.net/projects/gzip-for-windows/</a> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap">)
- updating drivers (graphics drivers and chipset drivers)
- getting the alpha version of the program
- going to and fro compute mode in the the graphical settings
I'm using Chimera 1.15 and this is my hardware
chipset b550m
ryzen 5600x
RX 590
in trying to fix it I learned about ChimeraX, I'm learning to use it, but I would still like to keep chimera until i can properly stop and change my workflow
thanks so much, let me know if I missed any info</span></div></div>
