| Have the following problem. When I launch Space Engine (0.94), the program loads its files. Then comes a Windows error message "Windows has encountered a problem" and the error description is "AppName: spaceengine.exe AppVer: 0.9.4.0 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000 "
What can this mean? Can I help a. Space Engine is THE program, the fulfillment of my dreams and I can not start it .... Please help
Have a P4 2GB ram, ATI HD 4760 1GB Ram, Win XP
If needed, I also have a DXDiag

| Great, but that does not help me. In none of the examples so far occurred on a fault. The engine will not start! no crashes, graphical errors or out of mem errors. I'm not even there, where to start here, most error. not even a log file is not written ... I have the latest OpenGL it, meets the hardware requirements ...

| Space Engine does not start for me, either, only I do not get any error messages, aside from a window that pops up saying "3d space simulator has stopped working". I suspect that I may lack the requirements to run the program, but how can I check to see what my computer has to make sure?

| Try updating the drivers of your video card first and see if that works , secondly you can check the requirements on the front page SE and compare them with your rig 
"Novus Ordo Seclorum"
Intel Core(E6850) 2 Duo 3.00 GHz \ Geforce GTX560 1024MB \ 4GB 667(MHz) 2 Channel RAM \ Windows 7 (32bit) \ Samsung SA700D 120hz (3D)

| The stats I have for my computer are as follows:
My computer is an HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook PC (model #: dv7-3065dx)
CPU: 2.4 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
Video/Graphics card: AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
vRAM: 1970 MB
Everything seems good except I am uncertain how my graphics card compares to the one recommended. Does anyone know is this is good?

Also, after moving the SpaceEngine.exe file to desktop, it at least tries to start, but then I get an error message reading this:
"Error loading surface generator shaders.
Press YES to run program with procedural planets disabled.
Press NO to exit."
If I click yes, all I get is a black screen with a large white box where my cursor should be.

| HrafnErikson, LOL, you are the third man who has MOVE exe file onto the desktop. Leave the 'exe' in its folder and create a shortcut to the desktop, instead of moving the 'exe' itself. 
You have a notebook with two graphics cards. Maybe the drivers force SE to start on the Intel card. Try to force it using the Radeon for SE. You can find this setting somewhere in the driver configuration utility.
But I'm not sure if your Radeon meets the hardware requirements. What is the size of video memory on it? What DirectX games can it run (9, 10, 11)?
batmump, Maybe you have the same issue with your two video cards?

| Ok, where might I find this driver configuration utility? (Forgive me if I ask too many questions. I am not as technologically adept as some people, lol)

| Right click on desktop and look in popup menu for something like "NVidia control panel" or "ATI Catalyst center"
