Dear Rui,
Did you get any warnings or errors when VMD started up?
What user are you logged in as when you run VMD? Were you logged in
as administrator when you installed VMD on this machine? If you
can provide me with these and perhaps a few more bits of information I
can probably figure out what is wrong with your VMD installation.
No need to CC all of VMD-L as we debug, just email me your info
and we'll go from there. If the problem is anything interesting I'll
summarize for others' benefit when its cured.
Thanks,
John Stone
