I have now just tried to get Chime 2 working with MSIE5 under WinNT4 on a new clean system - it says that it installed successfully but it failed in

There is an FAQ at the MDL site that deals with this problem. http://www.mdli.com/support/chime/faq_install.html#Install6 I quote "Using the Chime installer will not automatically place the Chime files in the required location to allow you to render structures with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0. You must have either Internet Explorer 4.n or Netscape Communicator 4.n already installed on the operating system. Copy the Chime files from the Netscape Plug-ins or Internet Explorer 4.n plug-ins directory into your Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.n directory. We will fix this in the next release of Chime. " This FAQ was apparently written for the beta 2 version of IE5. Although earlier on the FAQ also says "The current Windows installer now automatically places the Chime files in the required location to allow you to render structures with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0." So there does appear to be some confusion there. The Windows installer seems to be the original one, ie there do not appear to have been any recent releases of the installer. I had IE4 installed with Chime and then I over-installed with IE5. Inspecting the plugins directory, the IE5 installer did appear to have correctly installed the Chime plug-in, and when I ran it up, it did work. So it IS possible. I might add all of this was done under Virtual PC/Win 95 on a Macintosh.
