So, I uninstalled my current graphics driver which I had updated twice. The Nvidia control panel showed that the driver that came with it when I bought the PCÂ was still there although I could not find it in any search. I was forced to leave it and reinstall the updated driver.

Now, if I switch to fullscreen mode and open the starmap it will not show until I switch back to windowed mode at which time the map is docked back in the upper left corner, but does work, up until I close it out then it no longer works.
I still cannot get ringworlds to load in using either mode. It still CTD's
Update: I find that if I open the map using the icons in the left column and choose the star map directly from there it works. If I open it using f7 > starmap tab it does not work.
