Can't start application

[pengox]

I am having trouble getting this application started. I am running xp sp2. I installed directx and .net. For some reason when I double click on the "world wind" icon, the splash screen opens and another smaller window also appears. The splash screen's status bar shows "Initializing" but it never gets past this point. I can close the application without a problem. BTW the smaller window that also appears is totally greyed out, so I can't see anything but the window itself without any content. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just found the following content in a file named DEBUG_PROGRAM_START.txt in the World Wind folder. I think it's probably related. Any ideas what it means?

Error in the application.

Could you guys tell me what graphics cards you're running?

I'm having the same issue with a Radeon 9600. Strange thing is that I was able to load the app just fine yesterday.

I just tried installing and running 1.3.1 with a Radeon 9600 (RV350 with driver ati2dvag 6.14.10.6505), on a P4 1.3GHz under XP Home (no SP2), 768MB RAM, and it works OK. You could perhaps try updating the driver at www.ati.com to Catalyst 5.3.

Is it possible to run World Wind on WindowsXP on VMware virtual machine?
I was downloading WW for last 20h (yes, I have very slow internet connection ), and now I can't run it. Oryginaly I have GF 3Ti, and I'm running VMware on Slackware.

I am gonna hazzard a guess that it may not start up / work properly under VMware. IT is pretty CPU and Ram intensive. As is VMWare.

Because WW uses both DX and the latest .NET from microsoft It would be highly doubtful you could run it from an emulator or vitual machine.

However the developers do have cross-platform support in mind and should start working on it soon. But this will most likely take awhile. Please be patient

I'm using an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 (main driver ati2dvag.dll) graphic card in an IBM ThinkPad T30 with 512Mb of RAM, Win XP SP2, .NET 1.1, and DirectX 9.0c

The exception is:
