Systematic crash at boot

Post #1by skywal_l » 22.08.2006, 20:40

Hi,

I have a systematic crash at boot. 100% reproducible. When the focus switch from the sun to the earth, approching the earth -> crash. I've got the latest version 1.4.1, on a win XP SP2. I've tried download celestia source code for debug but got to install billions of libraries, so I gave up :(

Crashes on startup usually are caused by obsolete, buggy graphics drivers.

What model of graphics card to you have?
What is the version number of the drivers that are installed?

This is discussed in Q/A#1 in the Preliminary Users FAQ, which is a sticky near the top of the Users Forum.

Bingo. Updated my video drivers, and it's working fine.
Thx.
