dissapearing textures

Hi

I’m making a simulation of the solar system. I’ve added some animation and textures to all the planets and the sun. so far so good.
Now I need some stars in the background and since the stars feature doesn’t work on GE so have i created a huge sphere and mapped a star-picture to it. The problem is that suddenly all textures are gone when I run the GE.
Another strange thing(IMO) is that previously when the textures still worked, I couldn’t see them on the 3d view but they showed when I pressed “P”. Now it the opposite, I can see all the textures(including the star texture) on the 3d view, but not when I press “P”.
Did I changed something I shouldn’t?

by the way, I’ve included the file so you can look at it.
thanks for all help.

Well, lol you forgot to post the file. Secondly this happens a lot and is discussed in the GE area. I know its sometimes a guess where you are really supposed to post your questions here.

I had the same problem when I started using the forum.

Did you do a search for this in the GE forum?
It might be that you have Use blender materials selected in the Game menu? Maybe from playing with the stars in the world panel?

Hope that helps
