hi all,
I replaced my older quadro card with a RTX 3060 on my windows 10
workstation. VMD had been working fine, but after the update only showed a
back home screen (with no axes shown either). When I load a molecule,
nothing shown. If I change the background to white, it stays black.

I updated the NVIDIA drivers (studio v566.14 Nov 12 2024), uninstalled and
reinstalled VMD, with multiple reboots and still the same problem.

VMD says this when I start, if it's helpful:
