Hi bird
Andrew most likely has the answer. ATI video is quite unfriendly towards Opengl. Guess I am lucky none of my computers have These cards but then that means I can't test them. If stellarium ran OK in XP it means there was a suitable driver for XP. Maybe ATI will soon have a suitable driver for the Windows 7 64 bit system.

In the mean time the VMware virtual system should be able to run your original XP with its video driver and you will have stellarium there.
