You may want to try XP compatibility mode. I tried here and it all disappeared again. I didn't feel like entering everything in again. I went back to normal mode and the stuff I had entered came back. It might be possible to run and use it in compatibility mode and I would assume you'd have to maintain in that mode. Up to you to try it if you want and see if it works that way.

Well that sucks. Reid, you are correct I just upgraded the main computer down here to WIN10., and there was a recent WIN10 upgrade. I found I had to delete the reg entries for Falconsat-3 before I could get WISP to allow me to redo the Falconsat-3 entry. Just worked a pass, and it appears to be running properly. Thanks...

I run into this frequently under Windows 10. WISP is use to the XP type registry. If you search for one of the satellites in the registry you'll likely find it in more than on location. When Windows does an upgrade and reboot, I find that the satellite data goes away as well as the station info. (coordinates)
Until this last upgrade to build 1809, I only had to inset one new satellite, go out and back in and the rest of the satellites I had enteerd came back. After build 1809 I have to add each one back.
Reinstalling WISP will bot have any effect. WISP really needs to be changed to use the Windows 10 style registry. If I had the source, I was going to do so. However, since it is not available, I just merely reinsert the satellites again as needed. I use SatPC32 most of the time, but I love the abilities of WISP for one shot looks at the screen for satellite activity and the ability to use it for the packet birds. Maybe someone will get a hold of the source as it is still a good satellite program.

I was merrily rolling along with a full-dir then all of a sudden WISP loses all it's config data. Sats disappeared, my lat long is set to 0, etc. There doesn't seem to be a corrupt file involved. I try to redo a sat and it doesn't seem to accept any data, just the sat name. Is there anyway around this other then a complete re-install? I'm running WIN10...
