Stellarium

[mikemasey (Mike)]

Hi all,

I have used with a lot of success Stellarium on my PC with windows Vista.

I have recently purchased a Microsoft Surface tablet but can not get Stellarium to run on it!

Is anyone else having similar problems or can they help me?

Thanks.

Mike.

You could try running the 32 bit version of it. Other than that, I'm lost.

If you have the Microsoft Surface tablet, Stellarium will probably not work as its a normal windows application. The Surface tablet can only run apps from the Microsoft Store. To run normal windows applications, you need a full Windows 8 tablet like the Surface Pro.

There is an app from the app store but you have to pay for it. I got my copy for free when it was app of the day.
