Les,
I have never seen or heard of this problem, so I am shooting in the dark and have no idea WHY this happened. However, have you tried to assign some satellites to your group? Go to Satellites, select AMATEUR.TXT or NASA.ALL depending on your preference as source, click on the ones you want in the Available column, and then see what happens. Let us know what happens, or doesn't, which may give clues.
In the SatPC32 directory is a program called DATABACKUP.EXE. It may also be in the Programs menu. This will backup your configuration, and then restore it as needed. I do that regularly, just in case. It will normally fix these types of problems, though it will restore only what you have backed up.
73s,
Alan WA4SCA

I've continued to try to troubleshoot the problem with no success. I checked and the DopplerSQF file appears to be entact. Read the manual and searched the FAQ but can't find any reason why I'd be "missing" the data in the CAT field.
If I select an alternative configuration, the program seems to work fine, but that causes me to lose my settings and have to begin all over again.
Any ideas?
