Lockup

Post #1by Timmay » 13.03.2004, 04:52

I just bought a new computer about 2 months ago, I downloaded the newest celestia version, and now when i go to full screen, It works fine until I try to use the utility bar at the top of the screen, as soon as i move my mouse to there and the menu pops up, the program locks up.,

Any suggestions/

I have a Celeron, 2.4ghz, Intel extreme graphics, windows XP.

Hi Timmay,

A couple of questions...

By "latest version", do you mean the one available on the Celestia web site, or from SourceForge? Or do you mean the one Chris just posted a link to (1.3.2 pre6)?

What screen resolution are you running at the time you press Alt-Enter to go to full-screen mode?

Have you checked for updates to your graphics chip drivers? Just because the PC is new does not mean they loaded the latest drivers. What is the version number of your current driver?
