 With "view from this location" checked under "Settings", try moving the horizon line down so the sky fills the window. Whenever I do this, I get the message dialog: "WorldWide Telescope has stopped working..." and the program quits when I dismiss the dialog.

Hi gsilverman,

Did you install .NET 2.0? I replied to your other post here: http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/p/1193/1746.aspx#1746

Also make sure you have the most recent video card drivers from your computer or video card manufacturer.

Thank you,

Chuck

I checked on my video drivers and it says I have the latest available. My card is NVIDIA

GeForce 8400M GS. It's onboard in my laptop.
