I'm testing your model now.
I've already tested it on my laptop (XP, DBPro version 7.4) and it loads fine using your code. However, it did take a long time to load (with a black screen while I waited) - but once loaded it was fine.
I'm now upgrading to the latest official upgrade (U7.5) and then I'll test it again. If I have time I'll test it on my Vista machine as well.
I'll report again when I have more news.
Did you wait long enough for the object to load?
Edit
I've just upgraded my laptop to U7.5 and your model loads fine although it took a long time. Here's the code I used followed by a screenshot:
` standard 3D template for camera controls and display
set display mode desktop width(), desktop height(), 32
sync on: sync rate 0: sync
autocam off
position camera 0, 50, -300
point camera 0, 0, 0
global cx#
global cy#
cx# = camera angle x()
cy# = camera angle y()
load object "solar.3DS", 1
repeat
positionCamera()
yrotate object 1, object angle y(1)+1
sync
until spacekey()
end
function positionCamera()
control camera using arrowkeys 0, 1, 0
cx# = cx# + mousemovey(): cy# = cy# + mousemovex()
rotate camera cx#, cy#, 0
endfunction

Your model loads much quicker if you save it as a .dbo file and load that instead.
