Erich,
I run 12.8a. Your first suggested fix fixed it! Thanks. Now another question.
Whenever I start SatPC32, I get a modal message box containing "OLE-Fehler 8004503A, ClassID: {A5584957-EF07-419C-BACD-9931F1256D92} ." What is this about? It happens twice upon starting SatPC32, plus at other times including when I either OK or Cancel out of the Satellites menu.
I'm now waiting for a good pass to check out the whole system.

Hello Larry, I suppose you run V. 12.8 or 12.8a.
From the list in menu "Rotor Setup" choose the item "Yaesu GS-232". Save the
change with the upper "Save" button and restart SatPC32.
The program stores path and filename of ServerSDX.Exe in the aux. file "RotorServer.SQF" in the SatPC32 data folder. The path of the data folder is shown in a foot line of menu "Satellites". RotorServer.SQF can be opened with Notepad.
It should now contain the following line:
C:\Program Files\SatPC32\SDX\ServerSDX
Does the program now start ServerSDX?
If not, try whether it works better when you start SatPC32 with the option "Run as Administrator" (Right click on the file name and choose that option).

I have a Windows 7 Inspiron desktop. I just installed the SatPC32 for GS-232. When I start SatPC32, it does not automatically also start SDX as on my other computer. I can start SDX manually and can use the "manual input" thing on SDX to speak with the GS232, reading current position etc. But when I click up R+ SatPC32 has no contol over SDX and the rotors do not move when I tell them to--like selecting "park." What to do? Other features in SatPC32 seem to be working.
