VMD 1.9.3 uses OpenGL Shading Language shaders written for the version 1.10 version of the standard (now a few years old). This mode can be enabled by adding and setting the environment variable 'VMDSIMPLEGRAPHICS' to '1' in the control panel 'System Properties' window, in the 'Advanced' tab.

the ATI, Intel, or NVIDIA web driver update web sites.) If all else fails, it is possible to enable a system-wide environment variable in Windows which will cause VMD to avoid using any advanced OpenGL graphics features, using a minimalistic 'safe subset', which will reduce performance but increase stability.

This type of problem can typically be immediately remedied by visiting the video card vendor's web site and downloading and installing their most up-to-date drivers for your graphics board. This is particularly true of video drivers that have sub-standard implementations of OpenGL Shading Language. Some users have owned machines for a year and never updated their drivers, and so the first time they run VMD, it encounters the old/buggy driver, sometimes leading to a crash, garbled images on the display, or other symptoms. While extreme forms of these symptoms are a rare occurence, it has been known to happen with computers purchased coincident with the release of brand new graphics chipsets, when drivers are the most buggy.

Stability issues, corrupted graphics, video driver bugs: If you install VMD successfully, but the program crashes at startup, or behaves erratically, there's an extremely high probability that you have a buggy graphics device driver installed.

Removing the CPP4-related Tcl/Tk libraries from the system-wide default search path, or uninstalling them will cure the problem. Unfortunately, as part of the install, the system-wide dynamic link library search path is modified so that the libraries installed for CCP4 override (in this case interfere) with any other libraries on the system.

Conflict with CCP4 Tcl/Tk libraries: It has been found that CCP4 installs a set of Tcl/Tk dynamic link libraries as part of its install process.

The value of this new environment variable must contain the full pathname of the MSMS binary that you've installed on your computer, e.g.: c:program filessomedirectorymsms.exe This is done using the Windows control panel 'System' window, and adding the new environment variable using the 'advanced' tab, opening the 'environment variables' window from there, and adding the new MSMSSERVER variable, with the value set to your MSMS binary path as above.

Using MSMS on Windows In order to use MSMS on Windows, a new environment variable named MSMSSERVER must be set, in the Windows control panel 'System' window.

Installation on Windows systems that deny unsigned applications by default Windows 7/8/10 If you see a warning about running or installing software from an unknown publisher, you can click the 'More' item, and use the 'run anyway' button to allow the VMD installer to continue.

Installation notes and solution to common problems: The use of a fast OpenGL hardware accelerated video card is highly recommended.

VMD requires a pentium class machine with at least 512MB of RAM, and a 16-bit color video as a minimally useful configuration.

Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, or XP as the base operating system.
