Dear All,
my question is as follows: I downloaded Molden 5.8.2 version for Windows to my Acer laptop which has Windows 11 and is 64 bit machine. After unzipping the Molden file exactly Molden for 64-bit version installed, judging by the name of the directory, but the software does not run when I try to start it clicking gmolden or gmolden.2GB icons of the executables in the bin directory. Only a program window appears for less than a second and then all crushes. Did anybody of you encounter with such issue and if yes, how did you overcome it?
Big thanks in advance!
Hi, I hope that you have solved the problem, but if not, then you can try this.

It is not exactly a solution, but a way to figure out what could go wrong.
Ayaz Anwar: thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I could not resolve the problem yet. Prof. Schaftenaar sent me the video explaining how to get the video driver allowing to resolve this issue, but, unfortunately, this did not help.
Dear Prof. Aleksey. I have molden running in Windows 11 without problems. I use the version attached. Before opening the molden executable file, I start Xming server https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
Let me know if you have any questions about it.
Christian
Dear Christian,
thanks a lot for your help! I installed the version attached and the Xming server, now everything is working totally fine. This is Molden 5.0 version, right?
Kind regards,
Aleksey.
I'm glad it is working now.
Yes, it is version 5.0
Best regards,
Christian
