Celestia starts intro then reports error and aborts?

[Dartec]

Hi Can anybody help with my problem with Celestia. I am using a Toshiba Sattelite Pro 6000 laptop. Just found Celestia on the net and trying it but can not get it to run on my laptop with Tridnet video Cyberblade and Win 2K. The error is: the instruction at 0x00000000 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could no tbe read.
It happens while the intro starts running when you click on Celestia icon and it shows Io.

Any ideas anybody?

I've got the same problem with Toshiba Tecra 8100 Win NT 4 + S3 Savage/MX 8Mb when I install Celestia v1.2.5

Only version up to 1.2.2 are OK

Other people on this list experiment the same problem.
May be it's a S3 driver problem ?

Thanks for reply. SO it seams a 'common' problem. Do you know of anybody with a solution? I will search this forum as this is my first post and just registered.

Tryin gto test Opengl has the FAQ suggestion but Opengl Setup only workld on 95/98 as far as I can find.

It's a bug in Celestia 1.2.5 that I've fixed for 1.2.6. Your choices for now are:

- Find an OpenGL 1.2 driver for your graphics card
- Wait for Celestia 1.2.6
- Or, download Celestia 1.2.4
