Stellarium

Wrong rendering of all planets and stars on Windows 8

Asked by Renato Pires de Carvalho

Hello,

I have been always using Stellarium on Windows without any problem, but now I installed Stellarium 0.12.1 on Windows 8 x64, a bug where no planet or star renderizes correct is happening. All of them look like a triangle formed by a kaleidoscopic effect.

I verifyed my video card driver and it's updated. I reinstalled several times the software and it displayed the following error message sometimes:
"IPersistFile::Save failed; code 0x8007007B
The syntax of the file name, the name of the directory or the label of the volume is wrong."

I believe that's not a hardware problem because I have already used Stellarium in the same pc.

Thanks in advance.

1. You need non-WDM drivers for graphics card (i.e. not by Microsoft)
2. Error code 0x8007007B say about troubles with Windows System Restore service. More info: http://www.articleclick.com/Article/Resolving-Unexpected-Error-0x8007007B-during-System/1346197 and http://bertk.mvps.org/html/eerrormsgsv.html#4
