Celestia Forums

I've installed Celestia 1.5.1 for Windows. My operational system is Windows XP.
I've got this problem. I don't know what it mean:


My graphic card is VIA chrome9 HC IGP.
Monitor LG Studioworks 561A
Processor Intel Dual Core @ 1.80Ghz
Ram 512 DDR2

Sorry for any error in the language. I'm brazilian.

This problem is caused by a bug in the VIA graphics driver.
An updated driver should be available for free on the Web site of the company which made your computer.

Zyenth, you could make a short search with Google to find the result.
I made it for you, so download the new drivers from here:

It was not so difficult, anyway.

Somebody else have the same problem on the french celestia forum

EDIT may 13
With via chrome this solution was found:


I solved the problem and it should work for the person who created this post.
Simply remove the hardware acceleration card .... it works .... Certainly that is slower but removing a few details the result is quite correct.
For neophytes: config panel display / / Advanced / troubleshooting / then move the cursor to the left.

You just go to the Nvdia download drivers page and select your model:

Hey!!!... thx for the reply.. but i already have the drivers installed... i run the OpenGL test on Celestia and it said i coul only run 4 textures at a time... i dont know what that really means.. but i think my problem could be on that direction (or not?).... i wish someone could tell me how to manage the textures so i can make sure im not trying to use more than 4 at a time!... Thank you very much!!.. hoping reply..

Red globes means that the vertex shader routines are reporting an error. This is usually caused by obsolete or damaged OpenGL drivers.

Try re-downloading and re-installing Nvidia's current drivers. If it still fails after you've done that, provide a copy of shaders.log. Celestia creates it in the directory where you invoke it, usually on the desktop.
