This is kind of off-topic, but I'm having trouble with the PS editor.
It loads fine and I can import systems fine, but when I create the systems, nothing displays in the preview. It shows how many systems I have active/loaded along with how many particles there are, but I don't see the actual system. I've tried changing every OpenGL setting for my graphics card I can think of, and nothing works.

At least it <b>shows</b> the particles for you. Mine shows nadda. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Strangely enough, I just updated my video drivers last week and I only just tried this 4 days ago. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
