Earth has white ocean
I am running Cellistia on an Xp machine and Earth has a white ocean. How do I fix that?

Surely not with the official Celestia 1.3.2 distribution!
Many thousands of users run the official 1.3.2 Celestia distribution on XP machines without observing a white ocean...If indeed true, you should check also other OpenGL applications, since then I suspect your installation is filthy...
What /precisely/ did you modify? Which Celestia distribution do you install? Which graphics card, which driver?
Without this detailed info, your question sounds analogous to this one:
"Hey man, the motor of my car stopped working. How can I fix it?"

Well, excuse me - for not being an expert....
I am using version 1.3.2.0 of celestia. I ran the same program on a lesser machine with win2000 with no problem, except speed. I just wondered if someone else experienced this problem with Xp or is it something else. Obviously there is no obvious answer. Thanks anyway.

Do you have an ATI card? Did you changed a render path (ctrl-v on your keyboard) to OpenGL 2.0?
ATI cards have some problem running Celestia in this mode - sometimes Earth looks like giant disco-ball, sometimes oceans are totaly white as you described.
