FATAL ERROR: [023.024] {trajtools.c, line 2507} RLEUnPack failed, size=3, should=400*400 - likely this is
caused by overclocked or faulty RAM chips, please test your RAM

I have had 3 Clients do this to me with the 78, 2 on my Duallie ( One had a write file error, the others had no error message at all). There is something not right with the new Protein, but tracing may prove difficult :cry:

The RLEUnpack error usually occurs when opening the protein.trj file and decompressing its contents. It is like a checksum failure. In this case it appears the file may be damaged. You can try re-downloading it and diff protein.trj wth your copy to see if its corrupted. Sometimes cleaning out your TEMP directory (where all the .dbf and .fpt files go) could fix this. Lastly, you could indeed have bad/overclocked memory
