Hi Mark, PyMOL Session files store their settings. So, if you're running PyMOL on a powerful desktop machine that has OpenGL shader-based technology and then save that file, the high-performance graphics settings will be saved. If you then try to open that session file on a low-end laptop, say, when PyMOL tries to restore those high-end settings it might crash because the computer isn't capable of handling those settings.
We are working on making it such that PyMOL will override those stored settings if your machine cannot handle them. Before saving the session file, please try setting: set use_shaders, 0 set sphere_mode, 0 That session file should be able to load anywhere.
