Larry,
I did not get back to you because of Erich's post. He said exactly what I tried to convey to you, just in much more detail.
Regardless of operating system used, SatPC 32 behaves much the same. My question however is: What did you see when you brought up SatPC32? The world map? Please answer that for me. The way you fixed your problem was not wrong, by any means. You just done it the hard way. Good to hear that you are back up. Maybe we can have a chat about SatPC32 on one of the birds.

Erich, FIXED. For whatever reason, Windows 7 hides many of the files and folders in AppData, including the AppData folder. What I did was to search for Kepler, opened that folder, and then entered by hand 'nasa.all'. That seems to have fixed the problem. So why did it get messed up in the first place? We had a power outage the day this happened. Maybe SatPC32 had the folders/files open when the power glitched and left the files in a critical state. I might suggest opening the file(s) and leave a copy in memory, then close the file (if that is even the case). If I think to, I always download a new keps when I begin operation, but I have not thought to restart SatPC32 afterward. Please comment. Thanks much for the help. I've _got_ to get a good UPS for my station computer.

Larry, I don't know why you don't see the Application Data folder.
You
can also navigate to the folder "Kepler" from the SatPC32 menu "File", "Open".
If nothing helps uninstall SatPC32 and re-install it.

Erich, If I do a file explorer search for kepler, I see the AppData folder. However, in SatPC32 I do not see AppData in c:\Users\Owner, even if I run SatPC32 as Administrator. So I can not get at
nasa.all in
the _normal_ manner. ~Larry W7IN

Hello Larry, when you get the error message ("No source file was found ....")
click
on OK in the message window. A dialog window will open (the Windows "Open" dialog). In the dialog window navigate to the folder that contains your SatPC32 Keps files, normally the sub folder "Kepler". Under XP the path to that folder will usually be C:\Documents and Settings\Username(i.e. your name)\Application Data\SatPC32\Kepler. Select a data file, for
example
nasa.all, and click on "Open". To store the path and filename open the menu 'Satelliten' and click on the 'OK' - button.

My SatPC32 stopped working. I get an error message "Warnung: No source file was found for group Standard. Please select a source file for this group after the 'OK'. IMPORTANT: In orcer to store the filename for later starts open the menu 'Satelliten' and click on the 'OK' - button.
The SatPC32 application sort of comes up but there is nothing
in its
window.
What am I supposed to do? SatPC32ISS gives the same problem
with the
word 'ISS' substituted for 'Standard'. Should I reinstall?
