[Chimera-users] Error on installation on a student's computer

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Kenward,
	No, that number alone isn't enough information.  Does her machine have a Radeon graphics card?  Recent drivers for Radeon cards are buggy and crash Chimera.  If she has a Radeon card, she needs to go to the AMD website and download a newer (if available) or older version of the driver and install it. If she doesn't have a Radeon card, let me know and we'll work from there.

So far I have little information (we haven't started classes yet--next week--but she has sent the error message obtained.  It is apparently on Windows.  I suggested that she try starting from the command line to do the debug run, but this is from a distance at this time and I don't know how savvy she is with such stuff.
