Squares in the sky
I tried running Celestia on a school computer (which at the moment is my only way of running it at all) and on Points star mode, the stars are rendered as huge squares in the sky. These squares change size whenever the viewpoint is changed. It's running Win7 Professional 32-bit on an HP Compaq 6200 Pro with 4 GB of RAM.

That's caused by buggy graphics drivers. You'll have to convince the system administrator to update the drivers.

I don't think he'll do anything. This computer was supposed to be in a month ago, and I only got it last week. I'll ask him about the drivers, but it'll be a couple months before anything happens.

This happens when using "Points" mode on Celestia 1.6.x with Intel graphics.
