[chimerax-users] ChimeraX does not work on windows server running RDS

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Fabian, 
The ChimeraX download page recommends using computers that are relatively new (e.g. last 4 years) so it may be that the 2016 Windows system is just too old.  I don't know specifically, however, since I don't have that type of computer to try myself.

Were you able to run ChimeraX (any other version) on that same system before?  Have you been using it for Chimera?  If Chimera still works there you may have to keep using it instead of ChimeraX, unfortunately.

Sorry about the difficulties,
Elaine
