Bit slow Adrian. I've had it running for a couple of hours, with all the optional bits. :P



It's far better than my French. Thanks to you and Patrick for a Linux version. Now I have another reason to pull out the ATI video card and put in the NVidia one.

Adrian

[supernova1965]

[AdrianF]

Think I had too much Vino. I am going to bed long drive tomorrow got to go to Rockhampton (600k each way) to pick up my Grandson (yeah I know xmas day and all that).

Adrian

[troypiggo]

Downloaded and installed the new Mac version. Thankyou!

[supernova1965]

Well I have downloaded it again same result tried compatibility as xp sp3 tried to run as administrator no go any idea's please:confused2:

[mithrandir]

It is unlikely you needed to download again, unless you didn't save it.

How long did you wait? An on demand virus scanner might take quite a while to process it.

Did you try installing straight after a reboot? There could be locked files screwing it up. I had to do that to get something to install the other day.

Maybe something got left over in the registry. (That has to be the biggest curse M$ has foisted on everyone.)

Greetings for the Winter Solstice (appropriated by later religions for their own purposes) to all, irrespective of your choice or non-choice of faith. (Yes, I know it's summer here, but the celebrations were imported from the NH.)

[supernova1965]

Yeah I tried after a restart and am still waiting hours later never seen anything like this before Merry XMAS May all be happy

[netwolf]

Wow an excellent program pitty have not tried it before. And its free. Downloading now.

I downloaded this last night and installed it today. Best atlas of the moon I have ever seen especially with the high res. textures. Going to be a very useful tool and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I agree, very useful and have used the PC version under VMware on my Mac for a couple of years now. So I really welcome the Mac OS X version. I've installed it but have noticed the information section is difficult to read and I haven't found any preferences where I can change the font / size. Has anyone else seen this?

Regards

Glenn
