[Chimera-users] Problems in Windows XP

[Eric Pettersen]

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.
