There are no active models displayed too (in the active models panel, there are no active tabs for models (0,1,2...)) despite the status in the reply log.

On checking the preferences (Favorites ---> preferences), everything seems fine (for instance in Category: Fetch (save fetched flie: True and use local files:True/False (I've tried both cases))). Even the category of web access seems ok.

Hi Yaikhomba,
	Seems mysterious.  Try this:  open Preferences (Favorites->Preferences) and change the "Category" in the resulting dialog to "Preferences".  In that category click the "Reset to factory defaults" button.  Try opening 121p.  Any difference?  If not try removing [or moving elsewhere] your preferences file (the location is given in the dialog).  Restart Chimera.  Any difference opening 121p?
