Can't get the program to work

Post #1by Stargazer_24 » 06.11.2005, 18:26

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.
Registers:
EAX=00000100 CS=0177 EIP=0049809b EFLGS=00010206
EBX=00000000 SS=017f ESP=007cf9fc EBP=00000000
ECX=0196cc80 DS=017f ESI=0196cc80 FS=547f
EDX=00000000 ES=017f EDI=00000000 GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:
f7 ff 83 f8 01 7d 07 bb 01 00 00 00 eb 0c 8b ce
Stack dump:
00000000 0050b039 ffffffff 00000002 007cfb08 004fe666 ffffffff 004981de 00000002 00000000 0050b039 00c702f0 004811e0 007cfa50 00000002 00000000 Can someone help me with this? I have IE 6. 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 :oops:

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 You're right about the '98SE being outdated.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. :)
