Stellarium 0.10.1 crashes upon start on my laptop (xp sp3 updates and all). I would suggest that you back up your whole computer drive before doing any updates and also you may find it is necessary to uninstall 'Stellarium' and then reinstall it after updating your graphics drivers.As far as I could see this hasn't appeared on the forum yet - sorry if I missed it. I hope you can locate and install the correct driver for your system and get 'Stellarium 0.19' working for you.ĮDIT. The majority of the latest Graphics Drivers, regardless of manufacturer, also incorporate the OpenGL functions. I run 'Windows 7 x 64 bit' on an 'Intel' based computer with an 'NVidia Geforce 9600GT graphics card and 'Stellarium 0.19' works perfectly.

It is not really dependent on your operating system and it will run correctly under 'Windows 7' once you locate and install the required drivers. The NVidia tab also opens a new window, however, for this you need to know the details of the Graphics Card you have running and enter it's type etc on the selection list.

There is a similar setup under the 'AMD/ATI' selection. or click the link at the top of this new window and let it find it for you. scroll down the list and look for the one that matches your chipset.

If your computer is an 'Intel' based system then click on that in the list.Ī new window will open and you will see at the top a link to allow the software to locate the required driver/s for your computer.Īlternatively, if you know what graphics devices your computer has, on the same window you can select the 'Graphics Drivers' tab and a second new window will open. If you click on the type for your processor/graphics set then just follow the paths for each type to get to the required driver.Į.G. these relate to the processor types and graphics sets on various computers. Just below this you will see references for 'AMD/ATI', 'Intel' and 'NVidia'. If you go to the link I gave you and scroll down a short way you will see a heading 'Downloading OpenGL' What you need to do is find the latest graphics driver for your chipset. what processor type you have and which graphics chip set is fitted. That's not quite so simple to answer I am afraid as it is determined by the motherboard setup you have in your computer.
