7. Frequently Asked Questions
How can I obtain the full release to
calculate the Virtual logP ?
The Virtual logP and MLP calculations are possible only with the full version of VEGA that
is compiled with the routines copyrighted by Bernard Testa. You must buy the CLIP package
from Bernard Testa in order to obtain the regular license to use them. Only in this case,
I can send to you the full VEGA version (that is free like as the standard). For more
information, see: http://www-ict.unil.ch/ict/clip/docs/main_clip.html.
During the installation, Windows reports
this error message: "Error creating registry key and so access is denied". Why ?
The installer writes in the registry the information to uninstall VEGA. No other data are
written. The error is shown if your operating system is Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4
and your user account don't have the rights to write in the registry. Please logon with
the administrtator account and re-start the installation procedure.
When I open file and load the DCD file it
says "no -m option given", but no pull down menu with -m option is present. Why
?
You opened a trajectory file directly from the File -> Open menu item. This
procedure is incorrect for the OpenGL operating mode. The correct procedure is the
following:
- Open the whole molecule from File -> Open menu item.
- Select Calculate -> Analysis.
- Open the trajectory file (click on the button).
Starting from the 1.4.0 release, you can open the trajectory file from
File -> Open menu item. The associated molecule is loaded automatically without any
request.
Why the docking module (BioDock) don't
work ?
VEGA includes the graphic interface for the BioDock docking software. The standard VEGA
package don't include BioDock 3.0 that will be available as soon as possible.
Converting PDB into mol2 file the atom
types and the bond orders are incorrect. Why ?
If the PDB file doesn't have the hydrogens, VEGA can't detect the correct atom
hybridization and the Tripos force field is assigned in wrong way. This is not a bug
and the only way to sove this problem is adding all hydrogens.
Can I disable the glass windows ?
Select Tools -> Edit prefs from the main menu, find the keyword GLASSWINDOWS,
change the value from 1 to 0 and save the settings (File -> Save). Restart
VEGA and the glass windows will be disabled (see prefs file
specifications).
