I am trying to color surfaces by electrostatic potential. I saw in the archives a few items on this, but they all seem to refer to Linux or hardware problems - I am running under Windows VMD 1.8.4. An MSMS surface comes up, nicely colored with atom types, so the hardware is able to do it. When I take the tutorial example I get a leopard-like surface, black and white. I tried to change the scale in the Graphics/Trajectory menu but nothing changed. Same results if I try my own protein.

Any help would be much appreciated.
