Chris,
My sincere apologies. I got it running two weeks ago. The day before we left for a work-related trip. It’s running great now.
The only issue was that I needed to resize the window so the that the “Save” button was visible. Operator error 100%. It’s a great program, and a real aid to satellite operators. Highly recommended.
Now if I can just find time to get on the air!

Les, did you get it working? I know Joe did.
Just for reference, nothing I write will require you to run it as administrator.
It sounds like the program runs but the settings are not saved. When you ran it for the first time it popped up a window and said "data will be stored in C:\Users\XXXX\KLATrack" where XXXX is your username. Now it's possible that was a different directory as the program asks the OS for your home directory and it might return something different depending on how you have things configured. But look there and see if there is a directory. It should contain two files, klatracker.properties and nasabare.txt
Let me know if those files are there. The timestamp on the properties file should change if you update the settings. If that folder does not exist then I would expect the program to crash rather than just act odd, but you never know.

I wonder if you have installed the Java 1.8 runtime environment which is required? You can download it from java.com http://java.com/.
The file which keeps all your saved preferences can be found in your "Home" directory here: C:\Users\winte\KLATrack where "winte" is the first part of my surname. Of course, you will have a different identifier.
