Does it abort instantly, or does it load up the molecule at first, but
then crash when you hit one of the preset buttons?

What graphics hardware do you have and which driver do you use?

I am afraid that qutemol takes quite some requirements on graphics
cards, e.g. it does not work on my (i386) Thinkpad T42.  It does
however work on my (amd64) T400 Thinkpad.

So it is sort of a hit-and-miss thing I guess, and I am afraid that
there will probably be no upstream support for troubles like this
anymore at this point.
