stellarium issue

Asked by robin savill on 2015-01-07

I can download Stellarium but when I try to start it, I get the message Stellarium.exe has stopped working ?
 Windows begins looking for a way round it but just issues a Close program !
 I have had Microsoft software analysts going through my PC looking for a condition that is preventing this working & the only solution they came up with, is to get a new PC as mine does not & cannot support 3D !!!
 This was after some 3 hrs of trying so many different ways round.
 If anyone else has come across this issue & found a way out, I would like to hear it ?

Please try run Stellarium installer and mark all checkboxes before install. In any case what say the logs?

You could also tell us more about your PC and which version you tried.

I hope you tried run not 64-bit application on 32-bit operating system.

I am trying to run the Stellarium using the 64 bit as my PC is 64 bit

 I am running Win 7 Home premium, with an Intel Core i3 M380, with 4gb ram, Graphics are Intel HD & I am told by Microsoft, that this card is the cause of the problem & Toshiba say the card cannot be changed in any way, so the only solution is to get a new PC with Full 3D capabilities

 I hope this supplies you with all the info you need, I am sorry to have used up your time, but I did not know the latter info' until last night

Things are changing fast. Official download still:

And read why this is the case:
FAQ #2570: “Common problems with version 0.13”.

Hi Many many thanks

 I cannot thank you enough, yes if you had not guessed the version you sent me has worked !
 When I say that it has loaded in the last few minutes, so I have not tried it all, do not suppose everyone has !!!
 But this is so much better than expected.

 Thanks, ,you have made my day, year even
