I've been playing with Celestia for a few weeks now - great piece of work, however, after installing the latest patch I have a problem when using the solar system browser dialog - I bring up the dialog and click on, say, Uranus and then click on Goto - the view rotates a bit and it looks like the transit to the selected location has started and then the computer hangs and I have to hit the reset button (CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work).
My system details;
600 MHz P3
128Mb Ram
Matrox G400 16Mb graphics card

Hanging after clicking 'Goto' in Solar sys. browse dialog

Hi Chris,
Sorry - should have said - I installed 1.2.0 Windows and it ran OK except for the known problem of crashing when you flipped between Options & Browse dialogs, I then downloaded and installed your patch 1.2.1 and the problem ocurred.
I think I might need to grab the full 1.2.1 download and install that to see if the problem still ocurs.
Regards
Norman

Me again - just erased everything, re-downloaded 1.2.1 and installed - I get the same problem, pick a planet from the solar sys. browser - it starts the transit and then hangs.
Erased everything and re-installed 1.2.0 - everything is OK now except for the known bug.
Sigh! guess I'll just have to stick 1.2.0 for a while.
Cheers

Drivers?
Did you try different drivers for your Matrox? Maybe it's a bug in the drivers.
Live long and prosper!

Excellent piece of programming BTW!
Only heard about Celestia recently through the UK's PC Zone magazine, so downloaded the 1.2.1 version yesterday.
Urrmmm, I get the same thing, (chose GOTO, etc.) PC freezes and have to reset it (rather than doing a CTRL-ALT-DEL). Also, it'll just as often give me a totally blank screen, then I get the monitor's "No Signal" message. At this stage the PC doesn't reboot, I have to do that manually.
Happens about 70% of the time.
PIII 800Mhz/512MB PC133
ATI Radeon 64Mb DDR (original Radeon)
ATI Driver 4.13.7189
SB Live Platinum (latest drivers)
Windows ME
All the best,
