      Looks like the (quit common) ATI driver issues.

      Please add your system details to the table on this wiki page.

      http://stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Known_issues_with_video_drivers

      You might find that upgrading your video drivers helps, but this is not always a fix.

      Thanks

      thanks matthewq42 :-)

      updating the graphic driver fixed the problem but if anybody reading this has the same system as me don't download and install the "display drive, ati wdm integrated driver, catalyst control center" package it'll mess your system up just use the "display driver only", it's 41.2mb

        Good to hear you've solved the problem. Please can you tell me which version of the driver is working properly, and what OS you are using? If it's Vista, is it 32 or 64 bit?

        Thanks,
        Matthew

        OK, thanks. I'll add those details to the video driver problems page in the wiki. Hopefully it'll help other people with the same problem.
