RE: [PyMOL] minor irreproducible bugs

[Warren D. <wa...@de...>]

Al,

Bummer...

Next time PyMOL won't start or is acting freaky, can you try launching
PyMOL via command line as follows:

Start Menu->Run then enter: cmd

Assuming PyMOL is in the default location, paste in the following line:

"c:\program files\delano scientific\pymol\pymolwin.exe" +2

And then please send me the resulting output.

Cheers,
Warren
