To answer your question, the different messages appear after some minutes
(I didn't measur exactly, but it took quite 2 minutes for all this message
to appear, until I can use VMD again!)
Thus, when I launch it, the preference window appears automatically once
all of this is done!

Hope this will help you,

Thanks in advance,

That's interesting. Can you send me the entire console text after you
have tried to open MultiSeq? Also, how long does it take for the

couldn't open socket: connection timed out

message to appear and do you see one or several of them?
