Thank you the comments folks and the long answer to my problem Sandy.  As you might guess I am not that great with computer software but will go thru your suggestions one step at a time and see what happens, will report back later.

Hi Sandy,

Thank you for the link, which drivers would I need to download, using Windows 7 currently?

Hello SGL,

Tonight I uploaded Stellarium 0.19 version, every time I try to open it it seems to crash after coming up with a warning (picture below), could somebody explain this statement to me in simple English (if possible please?) and how i can over come it.  I have tried it in  32 and 64 bit version but have same problem.

Thank you for looking.
