[Chimera-users] Both chimera (x86) and chimera (x86-64) fail to run on Windows 8

[David Konerding]

Hi,
I have a Windows 8 pro machine, 64-bit 8 GB RAM Core i3 and Quadro FX 570.

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:

Cannot execute 'gzip': no automatic decompression of .Z files

initializing general preferences
loading Tix
initializing graphics




I managed to cause windows to try to send an error report, which captured
these files:
C:\Users\dek\AppData\Local\Temp\WERF405.tmp.appcompat.txt
  C:\Users\dek\AppData\Local\Temp\WERF464.tmp.mdmp

if those are useful for debugging, I can provide them.
