We've been looking into the issues some people have been finding with the viewer. On the ATI/AMD side, the catalyst 8.9 drivers seem to have resolved a number of issues with the viewer.
On the NVIDIA side, we have also now released on our download page a special version of the viewer designed for NVIDIA GPU's; this viewer has modifications that makes the viewer run much more smoothly and in general and behave better on a broader range of NVIDIA GPU's. If you're curious to run the viewer, please check it out (on our high performance client download page).

Lost the Grey 3D Nvidia background image, but it does show ns / day now instead of that other performance counter that counts my card (GeForce 9600GT Overclocked) in the 2000 range.

I find that the viewer now does nothing. Just a blue background, test protein a, 0%, User-123, Team-456, and the molecule doesn't move. It does still fold, though.

Where exactly is the new NVIDIA viewer? I searched the "high performance client download page", and found [email protected], but it contains a viewer.exe dated 30-May-2008 which is months older than this announcement, 22-Sept-2008.
