I've posted a ZIP file of a VMD installation image which you can unpack onto your machine for you here: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/vmd-1.8.5/files/vmd185winxp.zip Copy the contained "VMD" directory it into into your system directory: c:\Program Files (x86)\University of Illinois\ When properly copied in/installed, you can then run VMD by double clicking on the "vmd.exe" file in: c:\Program Files (x86)\University of Illinois\VMD\VMD.exe Cheers, John Stone vmd@ks.uiuc.edu
