You could try downloading a more upto date version of QT from the net.

My PC is Windows 95 but it says this is ok Rob If you're using Win 95 then you need an /older/ version of QT. Either that or a newer operating system. Apple quote a minimum spec of Win 98 for QT. SN is quite resouce hungry too so an old PC is will probably be struggling even if you do manage to install it. Cartes du Ceil might be better for you. It's not as pretty but just as functional, download it from here http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/. |

I've used Starry Night with XP and the latest version of crappy QT (yes even Apple make **** software) and I've used it with Win98 and early QT versions. Just make sure QT is installed FIRST and do a reboot. Martin |

I think CdC is MORE funtional, it does artificial satellite passes and iridium flares - not very intellectual, but it is a onestop shop for all my needs. ( I did get Starry Night with the mag, but still prefer CdC, Starry Night includes a lot of jazz I can't see the point of - puts asbestos suit on!) mike r |
