Celestia dose not display?

Post #1by dinobot » 23.02.2009, 06:12

I have just installed Celestia and it starts up fine but wont display any graphics, it just displays of white screen. I am running Windows Vista with these hardware specifications:
AMD Athlon 64x2 3.1GHz Dual core
4GB of Ram
Asus 1GB GeForce 9400 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! Graphics card
Asus Motherboard

If anyone has a solution to this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely

Dinobot

The graphics hardware drivers included with Vista are defective.

1. Read the Celestia FAQ at viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13461

2. Turn off Vista's graphics hardware acceleration completely. This is just so you can see that Celestia actually works. It'll be slow and won't show all the eye-candy.

3. Install the most recent Nvidia graphics drivers. Download them from http://www.nvidia.com/page/drivers.html
