Some users have reported that after updating to Starry Night 6.2.0, the program crashes on startup with an error message saying that OpenGL failed to initialize, even though they never had problems with OpenGL when using 6.0.6. This problem seems to be occurring with older ATI Radeon Mobility graphics cards on computers running Windows XP.

This is a bug and will be repaired shortly in a patch. To continue using Starry Night until that patch is released, uninstall and reinstall Starry Night from your discs, and download and install the 6.0.6 patch for your edition.

If you are experiencing this problem on a Windows XP computer, please confirm that you are using a Radeon Mobility graphics card. Right-click on your desktop background and choose Properties, then click the Settings tab. Below the picture of the two numbered rectangles representing monitors, there should be a line of text on a dropdown menu that describes your graphics hardware.

If you are experiencing this problem and are not using a Radeon Mobility card, please send a message to our technical support department.
