Hi Chris
Windows 7 64 bit is probably the root of the problem. I have had three installations of it on different hardware and got different results with stellarium. I don't use Windows 7 unless I need to. I prefer XP. The mouse/pointer probably has a conflict in using resources with something in stellarium. Do you have a separate mouse socket that you can use? Check your system hardware in control panel. You may be able to re-assign the resources to get around the conflict
VMawre is handy to run all the things I use if Windows 7 is my operating system at the time but it still needs to have all the necessary drivers.
Also I have dozens of utilities I use regularly built with Qbasic and compiled. None of them work on the 64 bit system
As for your Linux. The FPS is slow because you don't have an OpenGl driver to suit your video display. VM ware aps need the appropriate openGL driver installed on the virtual system.
