Cannot get Celestia v1.2.3 to 'fire up'

Hi,

I guess it's the usual 'opengl' problem but I can't find a work around. The error message returned is: 'Celestia has caused an error in TRIDICDP.DLL'

Have looked in 'glsetup' but unfortunately there's no match for my graphics card there. I'm not even sure how to find out what graphics card is installed in my machine :(

Interestingly, OpenUniverse works fine :? Obviously VERY frustrated at not being able to get this promising application to work. Anybody elese with similar experiences/suggestions ?

No but if you have access to your graphics card driver cd rom...reinstall or look for updated drivers of it...

Usually you can right click on my computer, choose properties, choose device manager, choose display drivers and see what is under there...That will show the name of your graphics driver...
