Hi,
I'm Giacomo Mandruzzato, a student of Bioengineering at Padova (DIE) and I'm working on my Thesis with Freesurfer (last version). I am using a virtual machine Vmware 2.5.3 with Cent0S 5.1 running FSL virtual disk in Windows Vista Home premium,
I installed freesurfer and tkmedit e qdec run correctly but when run tksurfer (i.e. tksurfer bert rh pial, like website suggests) display an error :


> [root@localhost ~]# tksurfer bert rh pial
> surfer: current subjects dir: /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects

Tksurfer open and I can see only a little piece of brain.
I have update the video card's driver and I tried to use another vm, like VirtualBox but I left the idea because I found some problem with boot of it.
I have found a similar problem in internet, but without solution: http://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg07389.html (I am not using a Nvidia video card).


characteristic of my notebook:
Olidata , Intel core duo T2450 @ 2 x 2.00 Ghz,
Ram 2 GB, Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2 updated.
Video card: Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family

I apologize for bad English and little knowledge of Unix OS.
Please, if somebody can help I am grateful.

Best Regards,

Giacomo Mandruzzato
