Dynamic video memory detection unsupported. Value 1024 Mb from config will be used.
Dynamic video memory detection disabled
Follow 5c paragraph here.

| Thanks for the quick reply. Followed the steps in 5c, problem still exists. Tried disabling Aero theme as well, no luck.

| What have you typed in main.cfg?
Code
VideoMemorySize 1024
VideoMemoryMaxPercent 60
VideoMemoryStartupDetect false
VideoMemoryDynamicDetect false
Try VideoMemoryMaxPercent 60, 70 or so. SpaceEngine uses 200-300 Mb of static data and buffers it in VRAM, which will not consider without dynamic memory detection.
Update: And disable dynamic memory detection.

| Tried it with those values, no luck. Tried 60, 70, 80 on VideoMemoryMaxPercent.
I can actually move around using wasd and mouse, and this time a crosshair popped up. I could move around with respect to it, but still just a black screen. Screencap: http://i.imgur.com/BDwk3.png
Thanks for the help.

| Of course black screen. No textures and other stuff was loaded, because program can't determine the size of your graphics card memory. I found a mistake in initialization code, so program always detects 0 Mb of memory, despite the VideoMemoryStartupDetect / VideoMemoryDynamicDetect values. I will fix it and upload a patch within several days.

| Well, I suppose I should save a thread page and post here.
I have a pretty much identical problem. After reading I must say I'm relieved that you're working on a patch and wish you the best of luck on your endeavor.
I do, however, have a question: is this simulator capable of running on a GeForce 9100 video card, or is my problem simply this bug?
Thank you for your help in advance, the screenshots alone were highly enjoyable. You've made a fine program.

| I'm not sure about GeForce 9100. If it has at least 512 Mb of video memory and supports OpenGL 3.0, it probably can run SE.

Also tried running it as admin in win xp compatibility mode.

| This is a bug with detecting the amount of available video memory size. Engine detects it as zero. It is possible to force some value in the config, but current version has a bug, so value from config is ignored. If you give me your log, I can tell you more about your problem.
