Shut down Stellarium. Rename your config.ini. Start Stellarium. Redo your customisations.

Where possible an entry has been provided for the confi.ini file to new turn these features ON/OFF to suit displays that do not cater for them.

The Stellarium directory system does not contain a file named
config.ini, only
default_config.ini (under
/data). Renaming
default_config.ini has no effect on the problem. Renaming the
config.ini file that resides in
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\Application Data\Stellarium, has no effect on the problem. Renaming both files prevents Stellarium opening.
If the problem can in fact be resolved by simple config file tweaks as suggested, then it appears to be more an issue of Stellarium programmers having problems writing effective installation/initialisation routines, than "
ATI's inability to write good OpenGL drivers." Nevertheless, as an interim measure, I propose renaming
OpenGL, to
ClosedGL.

This version includes many new features that are highly desirable for use in Stellarium but required many changes to the basic code.

I cannot agree that any software feature is "highly desirable" when it leads to such widespread user problems. If a significant proportion of all PC's worldwide utilise ATI graphics technology, unless fully resolved, this compatibility issue will trouble many users for years to come.
