When I launch Celestia, it just breaks down after few seconds.
I have a GeForce 2 MX/MX 400, with nVidia driver 45.23 (newest) and DirectX 9.0b (OpenGL uses DirectX low level API). Current resolution 1600x1200x32 bit palette. My OS is Windows 2000 Pro UK SP2
The program seems otherwise to be very great. Very few times I succeded using it in 30 seconds before breakdown.
I would be happy for some hints
Regards Lars

It did help me though. thanks for the tip. the only (small) downside is that the default goto distance seems to have got closer. is this adjustable ? Earth now overfills my screen by default.
