I downloaded the Celestia program on Nov.02, 2005 and when I went to open it I received this window: CELESTIA caused a divide error in module CELESTIA.EXE at 0177:0049809b.

I have windows 98SE. Any other information you need, just let me know. I was really looking forward to running this program. If someone can help me figure this out I would really appreciate it. Thanks stargazer_24

Most likely your graphics drivers need to be upgraded.

Please read the Preliminary User's FAQ, which is a sticky near the top of the Celestia Users Forum

Thanks John and Seldon for the help. You're right about the '98SE being outdated. Just using it b/c the XP is down at the moment. Glad I have it as a backup though or I wouldn't be on here at all. Been checking out the Alienware site. Might just have this one re-vamped. New hardware (ie: mother board etc.).
I guess I'll just have to remove the program from the computer for the time being then b/c I don't have the money right now to get a new graphics card.
I'll check out the FAQ's and see whatz up. Thanks again.
