running problem

Post #1by molngab » 19.04.2008, 10:19

Hello!

My problem: I downloaded Celestia, and installed. I tried to run it: but, I can't.
If I would like to run, happens three error:
1. Celestia uses 100 % of my CPU power
2. Celestia freeze
3. My WinXP freeze
4. I can only use the reset button

I use WinXP SP2, latest Celestia.
My PC: AMD XP 2500+, 1 GB RAM.
How can I use Celestia?

Thanks

Problems like those you describe are usually caused by obsolete and buggy graphics drivers. You need to download and then install the current drivers. If your computer has a plugin graphics card, get them from the Website of the manufacturer of your graphics hardware. If your computer has embedded graphics chips, get them from the Website of the manufacturer of your computer.
