'Stars all changed to huge blobs' error

shugal333 Apr 12, 2002

Every now and then when I load Guide 7 (with latest update), and now
it seems with Guide 8, all the stars are extended to huge blobs.
I've tried changing the magnitude settings, zooming in and out, and
stuff to do with how the size of stars are shown on screen but
nothing works....except a reinstall.

Does anyone recognise this ??

I have an untested theory it maybe something to do with using my ZIP
drive without rebooting before loading Guide...but I'm not sure...
Is there any memory issues, graphic card issues that may set this
off ?

thanks
