You may have to update your graphics card drivers.

You may have to update your graphics card drivers.

Sounds most likely, or try running the "no OpenGL2" version from the Stellarium folder in the Start Menu.

Cheers

I've run it on Windows 7, Windows XP and Linux (Fedora and Ubuntu) without issue so I'm puzzled. As mentioned above a driver update should help if not I'm a bit stumped.

What OS and hardware are you running?

Stellarium version 0.11.4 was working fine but I made the mistake of upgrading to version 0.12.1 and that was the end of Stellarium for me, as it refused to load beyond the splash screen, no matter what.

Nothing could get the latter to run on any of my computers, so I downgraded back to 0.11.4 but that refused to work again, even after registry seek-and-destroys and fresh installs.

Luckily there are around 50 other apps that do the same job at least as well, if not much better! (XEphem, Cartes du Ciel, HNSky, C2A, WinStars... The list goes on.)

Just found out Stellarium 0.12.1 is out now and downloaded it today.
