As Fridger wrote, there is no such version of Celestia as v2.3.2 or v3.3.2. The most recent full official version of Celestia is v1.3.2. There are various preliminary test versions of v1.4.0 available, also. Either you are misreading the version numbers or you downloaded some other program.

The links on Shatters point to SourceForge.
You might consider downloading Celestia v1.3.2 directly from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... p_id=21302

Be sure to download the version for your operating system.

The numbering is increased automatically with certain browsers, after the same package has been downloaded repeatedly, in order not to overwrite the previous version! ;-)

WUFF...

You really aren't helping anyone understand what your problem is. You're doing the equivalent of calling tech support and saying "Wah! my computer's broken!" and then when they ask you what you did you just reply by saying "I dunno, I did something at it's not working anymore".

You haven't even told us what OS you're running - windows? OSX? Linux?

What is the exact name of the file of the addon you downloaded that you think caused your problem?

What is the exact error message you got when you tried running it? What file needed manual deletion? (saying "or something like that" or "some file" isn't remotely good enough when reporting errors).


Take a bit of time to explain exactly what you did to generate the problem and perhaps you'll get somewhere. But so long as you're vague and armwavy, people won't be inclined to help you.

oops sorry i fixed it though i guess new earth addon was corrupted i just reinstalled but instead of using same folder i made a new one called new celestia and it worked so i secluded new earth to an un used folder and trancferred good stuff to the new folder YAY!!!

And please cut down on the smileys. One or two is quite enough to get your mood across.
