One Solution for Celestia 1.5.1 crashing in Vista
Posted: 12.06.2009, 03:47
Hi
Certainly Celestia did crash after initialization. It did run before and I had just added a downloaded user content. Had no clue, what's wrong now. I deinstalled, reinstalled, used old version. I got 1.3 to run, but not 1.5.1.
Then I looked at my Ati Catalyst Control Center, hoping to find a clue, what maybe wrong. I used the button set back to factory settings, cause I couldn't find out what could cause the crash. I use the latest drivers 8.612.
Now the best thing, Celestia works again.
I can't tell which setting changed, there are so many. Maybe anti aliasing, but it was certainly nothing really important for my system. I was just playing around some time ago to make a game look better, go faster, whatever. Unfortunately with Ati software its not possible to set different settings for each program like with Nvidia software.
My system
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
4.00 GB DDR2-800, CL5
