Hi Bird
I have no trouble with my desktop. I am on a 64 bit machine at the moment that runs XP in 32 bits or Windows 7 ultimate in 64 bits (dual boot). Both systems run without any bother

In the Windows 7. Stellarium needs to be put into program files (x86).
If you try to run it on XP in the Microsoft virtual machine you will probably have trouble with stellarium. It has an archaeic screen driver for XP and it has trouble with full screen mode, can't stand the window being smaller than virtual window and runs awful slow.

I use the VMware program which runs stellarium great in the virtual machine under XP installed from my dist disk.

The flickery screen bug has been fixed in the patch I put onto iceinspace. I have heard about the time freeze but not seen it so I can't comment. Also there may still be problems with the ATI video cards. What is your frame rate it may be too high.

Barry
