Hi Derek, Before you load anything, do: PyMOL> set use_shaders, 0
You will still see the flickering issue, but PyMOL will not crash. I'm not up-to-date with the situation in VMware, but in Parallels you have to install the Parallels-Tools in the client OS to get usable graphics. So it's basically a graphics driver issue.
