I have no clue how to use wormholes. I am playing a game and I have researched the technology that grants me the ability to use them to travel and I see my enemies use them but I see no way to do so.

Is there supposed to be a graphical clue as to how they connect much like the phase lanes? I can see phase lanes between planets but I do not see phase lanes between stars so at first it was confusing just to figure how to travel between stars.

I am on Windows Vista 32-bit, 1920x1200 resolution, NVidia 169.09 driver for an 8800GTX card.

Just move your ships to the center, they'll jump through automatically. You do see a thick white line once you discover the connection, but not before. Meaning, you have to use it before you see the link.

OK thanks for the tip. I moved my ships to the center of the worm hole and indeed they warped through. However, after doing so I still do not see a link.

Is there a link between stars as well? If so I don't see those links either which means I have some sort of graphical glitch that affects both.

No, there's no link between stars. To you may need to hover your mouse over the wormhole to see the connecting link, I know it's not always visible. It may also highlight when you hold down alt (tactical overview). I actually don't play with wormholes much, so someone else can confirm when exactly the link shows. But it does!

It will look like on this screenshot, you can easily see the connecting wormholes:

Thanks for your help - clicking the wormhole after my ships travel through lights up that link.
