Celestia Forums

I don??t know what??s happening.Celestia 1.3.2 is taking too long to load.The Earth appears and when I try to put in full screen,the screen went blank and sometimes,many minutes after that,Celestia still don??t load.
In this case,this happened when I unzip the Orpheus high res zip file.
It could be a problem of virtual memory.But if so,why Celestia don??t accuse this.
Or it could be driver related?

It is possible that your Hard Disk Drive is fragmented, Defragment it.
Or, the folder celestia containt much Addons that Celestia take a lot of time to load (:arrow: galaxy for exemple).
Or, it is your memory size or graphic driver maybe but i am not sure...

Daniel,

Maybe you just have too many things running at once. Open the "Task Manager". (The easiest way to start it is to type Ctrl-Alt-Del.) Select the "Performance" tab. Look at the Page File Usage.
What does it show?

You should try to keep the page file use less than the amount of RAM that's in your system. Actually using much more memory than that will cause your system to run very slowly as it pages programs and data back and forth between RAM and disk.
