RE: vmd under windows

Hello
 I understand the problem with the Windows version. It's because certain,
 ah, old, programs still have problems understanding folder names containing
 spaces. You have probably installed VMD into "C:\Program Files\...."
 but
 it cannot understand the space in "Program Files" and is looking for
 "C:\Program".
 You should uninstall it, and reinstall it into a folder called
 "C:\Programs"
 or something like that.
 Hopefully that will help
 BTW, you can make even nicer pictures by rendering as a POV file. You need
 to download POVRAY from the web. I have made some very nice pictures. :-)
