Maybe you've overloaded your graphics card with too many textures. How much memory is in your graphics card?

oops, my problem, there was no texture for the ring, i found out it when i downloaded the saturns' ring and placed it by the instruction of readme, there was actually no file named saturn-ring before that,

and also another problem the uranus has also got this WHITE DISC RING, what should i do to make the Uranus RING(picture or texture) to visible? i have checked the motherlode, but there is no ring textures for uranus,

uranus-rings.png is provided with Celestia. It's in \textures\lores\
If you can't find it there, then you may have accidentally deleted it.

Since this suggests you may have damaged other things, too, you probably should consider reinstalling Celestia.

Bluering:

The ring textures must be in the Lores folder. If for some reason they are not, look for them in the medres folder and copy them into the Lores folder.
