Hi,
  You didn't mention what operating system you're running, but
this is an important detail, particularly in combination with
what graphics hardware you have. What does VMD print when it
starts up? It will identify the graphics hardware when it prints
out the OpenGL features during startup.

Cheers,
  John Stone
