I just dropped it into an older Sage release 3.4 and had no problems. Thanks. > What problem were people having with Jmol on Windows? Can you > describe it in detail?

It still works fine for me on my Linux clients and when using Windows Vista, but on a slightly older laptop running Windows XP (up-to-date with SP2) it still fails. In Sage notebook jmol appears to load and the graphics window appears but it is blank. I cannot see any object but the window is otherwise responsive. I can right click and change background color, axes and other options and I do see these displayed but no graphic! This same page on the same server when viewed from the other clients works fine.
