    Do you know does it fight with any other software that might be on your system, I seem to go for it and install, only to find out there is an inwar software issue.
    might help if you list the error message / use the latest version OR previous one / which OS you use. - best to ask on separate thread though

    also try
    http://edu.kde.org/kstars/

    Theres a very nice free PC programme called Stellarium which lets you identify the stars.


    EDIT: to avoid confusion re my use of the word PC above. My version of Stellarium is linux. I dont know if there is a windows version available.

    Check out World wide telescope runs in browser or if you want a faster experience you can download it.

    Or if you have an android phone check out Google sky map it's one of my favourite apps
