The clouds are not appearing.What I did wrong?

Another thing :
I tried to chance venusmap.jpg for Venus.dds and put a cloudmap in Venus,but it didn?t work.Sometimes the clouds are indefined,others the surphace disappear.Can you help me?

I have Celestia 1.3.0 and Venus is the only problem I can?t change the texture.
