PC crashes when re-sizing display

Post by William »

Hi all, I am using version 5.3 with XP SP2, when I put the display on screen it almost fills the desktop but every time I try to re-size it it shrinks slightly but then the PC crashes, any else have this problem ?
Thanks, William

I don't remember a report of that specific problem, but there have been a variety of graphic problems reported with v503 and earlier. The display screen is constructed with OpenGL and there are many reports of drivers which do not provide bug-free support. (You'll find the same sort of reports on the websites that support video games that use OpenGL.)

In some cases, people have been able to fix problems like that by updating video drivers. In other cases, not. In those cases that it doesn't help, we recommend the non-GUI version 5.04. Of course if that's the only problem you're having, you by choose to avoid re-sizing the screen until the next version of FAH is released. There's a public beta going on for V6, but the latest GUI client doesn't have a protein viewer yet, so they must be working on that specific
