Your path has spaces in it. Namely a directory called "Documents and Settings" that's part of the path you installed to. Stellarium doesn't work right from custom paths with spaces. There is more information in the help.html in the StellariumPortable directory on a workaround. If you need more info, please post a note in the forums.

Can I obtain the previous Portable Stellarium version, 0.10.1?

0.10.2 is not working for me. After a few minutes it generates an error and crashes on my Windows XP SP3 computer. I don't even have to be doing anything with the program for it to crash. 0.10.1 worked fine for me.

Thanks for pointing the way. It looks as if I have a system problem, which I was beginning to expect. Even back leveled, Stellarium Portable was causing problems where it never did before.
