Stellarium installs on windows 7 with no problems. Are you installing the latest version of Stellarium (0.10.5)

Hi Pete,

Yes it definately the latest version. Heres a screen shot of what it looks like below...

This might sound a bit daft but try a lower version, say 0.10.3 or 0.10.4

Also make sure you have the very latest drivers for your graphics card, dont trust windowz for it, if you know what the card is do a net search for the driver on the manufacturers site.

Check for the latest drivers for your graphics card and also try the Stellarium (no OpenGL2) option in the Stellarium start menu. Try Stellarium 0.10.3 or earlier (0.10.4 had some display problems)

Still the same after downloading the older versions.

Unsure how to check or download the latest drivers?

Sorry not on my win7 machine at the moment, but on the program group there is an open-gl or non-open-gl running option. Try running that, rather than the default...

(sorry just realised Cornelius suggested this - certainly worth a try if you have not done so yet, though)

It looks like its partially fixed and should be ok now, I managed to download updated drivers.

Thanks for the help.

cheers
