[chimerax-users] Initialzing core

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Hernando,

  I managed to reproduce this where ChimeraX starts on an old Windows 7 machine, seems to flash an error dialog then vanishes.  I’ll debug it.  Maybe no one ever said but ChimeraX is compiled on Windows 10 and we don’t intend to support Windows 7 — if it works on that it just luck.  That said, it does work without problems on our Windows 7 machine which has an up to date graphics driver.

	Tom

Anything I should do differently?  (Chimera 11.2 runs fine in the same computer).
