Hi Just noticed on my desktop machine that there's no night-side lights on Earth, have tried selecting / unselecting the function and closing/ reopening application.
This System is AMD Dual-Core Opteron 185 on an Asus A8N-SLi motherboard, 2 gigs of RAM and Graphics card is a BFG 8800 GTC 320 OC with the latest Nvidia Driver installed - OS is XP SP2

What render path are you using? The Basic render path won't show night lights.

To see and change render paths, type Ctrl-V (if you are using the Windows version).

Thanks for the tip I'll give it a try - I didn't realise I had to do this - in the past I've just installed the program and it's run pretty much flawlessly up until now on my desktop machine - the laptop is a whole other story though.
I'll never use ATI graphics again after this NVidia are far more straightforward to install and set up/operate etc
