  • Re: Images won't render at all

    The application appears to run fine except that none of the sky objects display, i.e., no stars, planets, galaxies, etc. The constellation outlines are there, the equatorial marker, the grids, and even the object identifier. If I select an object (planet for example), the display moves center on that object and then appears to zoom in, but I'm looking into a black hole.

    Resizing doesn't appear to work on my system. My display is set 1280 x 1024 and downsizing to 1024 x 768 makes no difference. I'm using the latest ATI drivers and have all XP patchs/SPs installed.

    Full screen or reduced works the same for me. There are never any star images on the screen as there are with my laptop. Very odd. I'll try installing directx10 but Windows Update reports all software up to date.

    Nope, I thought it might be a driver issue as well so I downloaded the latest ATI/AMD driver and installed. It's got some nice features but unfortunately did not change anything as far as WWT. I'm confused about the 120DPI remark. I've never seen a setting (at least that I'm aware of) for DPI settings in XP Pro. Please advise.

    No joy, and I am directly connected to the Internet, no proxy that I'm aware of. Does WWT use the browser to get the images? I thought it was a stand alone program with its own comm tools. Also, as I said, my laptop works fine on the same internet connection just VERY slow since it's not that powerful of a machine.

    I'll give them a little bit. I installed the app on my laptop and it works pretty good, though the laptop is underpowered for the job. Images are very cool though.
