Install RunProblem

Post #1by blaster » 03.02.2003, 02:15

I just loaded celestia-win32-1.2.5 on my machine running XP. The download and install seemed normal. When it starts up, I get the opening screen showing Io in motion but as Io flys by XP shuts it down and I get an error report. There is not a lot of opportunity to trouble shoot. I tried removing everything and re-loading, with the same results. Have you heard this one before? Any obvious fixes? What additional information can I provide? :?

What graphics card do you have and what version of OpenGL is it using?

Have you tried using Celestia v1.2.4?
(It and other versions of Celestia are available at http://www.shatters.net/celestia/files/)

v1.2.4 works better with older versions of OpenGL than v1.2.5 does. For example, V1.2.5 crashes immediately with OpenGL v1.1 due to problems in Celestia's 3DS rendering code.
