Hi Alex,

I will try tomorrow to remove all my startup scripts to see if there is a problem there ...

I am running vmd 1.8.6 on Debian Linux

But what puzzles me is that this colleague of mine gets the same error with his setup which is not identical with mine ...

I'll let you know tomorrow

Cheers
vlad

it works fine for me here (running linux).
what platform are you running on, and is there any
customization in the VMD version you are using
that might interfere with the save state script?

can you try to identify a simple way to reproduce this.
if the error you report would show under all circumstances,
we would have seen it long ago.

cheers,
