It works fine on most of my computers, but not all. When I open FFE it appears to work, however no 3D objects show up in the screen. I can load molecules, and that seems to work, but they don't display. The region where things are displayed are always black. Any ideas?

I'm trying to use Force Field Explorer with TINKER.  It works fine on most of my computers, but not all.

When I open FFE it appears to work, however no 3D objects show up in the screen.  I can load molecules, and that seems to work, but they don't display.  The region where things are displayed are always black.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sometimes It may be that the molecule is colored black. So by changing the background color it will appear. Also, I have found that if I go to one of the other tabs, or change to the Java look, then all is well.

It appears to be a problem with the Java installation on the computer. For some reason if I run from the "start -> all programs -> TINKER -> Force Field Explorer' I have this problem, but if I go into the directory where FFE resides, and directly click the .jar file it works. Is there a large user base for TINKER? I'm the only person I know of who uses it. I would really like to know if there are others who use it.

Mark,

I have had this problem occasionally too. Sometimes It may be that
the molecule is colored black. So by changing the background color it
will appear. Also, I have found that if I go to one of the other
tabs, or change to the Java look, then all is well.

Good luck,

John
