      I don't know of any tool called 3DHIV.  I do know of a few different sites where there are "tutorials" or similar things which launch standard JAVA applications such as JMOL to view HIV protein structures.

      http://www.hiv.lanl.gov/content/sequence/PROTVIS/html/protvis.html

      http://www.callutheran.edu/Academic_Programs/Departments/BioDev/omm/jmol/hivrt/hivrt.html

      but all of them are currently working with modern versions of JAVA and most web browsers I can test drive such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.

      Can you tell me what the URL is for 3DHIV?

        Hi Brian - *This* forum (where you posted, and where Bill posted) is the SourceForge.net forum forthe "3DHIV"  project. Bill posted his question in exactly the right place! I assume you signed up to this forum some time ago but then forgot about it?

      I GOOGLED [Dan Stowell 3DHIV] and located a JAVA driven (probably using JMOL or something very similar) web page:

      http://hiv.sourceforge.net/

      It works fine under MAC OS-X and Frirefox, which is the only set-up I can test right now.

      I suggest you contact Dan if you have found a bug in 3DHIV, or the authors of JMOL (or whatever is driving the site), if the bug is in their part of the process.  This is not a HIV Databases tool.

      Hi - I'm surprised that you find this this error. I too am using Mac OS 10.4.11 (PPC, 1.5 GB RAM) and the 3DHIV viewer launches with no problem.

      If you are able to find a more detailed java error log, could you possibly send that? Without more detail, it's very difficult to guess what might be happening.

      Best
      Dan
