Hi,
During the last days some users reported that SatPC32 caused
the error message "Zugriffsverletztung bei Adresse..." or
"access violation at address...". after they updated their Keps
file. The program could no longer be closed normally but only
using the Windows Task Manager. Yersteday John, AA2HJ,
reported that he also got the error. He had completlely filled his
"Selected" lsit with the possible number of satellites (24). The
error occured when he tried to update nasabare.txt via the
"Download Keps" function.
He
then found out that nasabare.txt contained the NO-84 data
set twice. Also, the file had had not been updated for 6
days. As I have seen in the meantime, the same applies to
nasa.all. I then did the same for myself and actually
received the error message "access violation". I had to
close the program with the Task Manager. After a few
restarts, the program did no longer start and the error
message appeared "Error while loading Standard.SAT "
I
was able to fix the error by replacing the file
"Standard.SAT" in the main data folder by the file
Standard.SAT from the sub folder CfgII, which only contained
approx. 12 satellites like upon installation.
The
error seems to be due to the faulty file nasabare.txt, when
the "Selected" list is full and contains the satellite
NO-84. Without this satellite, the error did not occur for
me, even if the list was full. Unfortunately, I was only
able earlicer yesterday to to recommend to re-install the
program to a user who had not backed up his settings with
DataBackup
I hope AMSAT will soon fix the Kepsfiles. Until then one
should not add NO-84 to the selected list.
To replace the file Standard.SAT in the main folder by the
same file from sub folders CfgII, CfgIII or CfgIV you have
to make hidden files and folders visible (under Windows 10
start the File Manager, then: View > Options > Folder
Options > View). The path to the data folder will be:
C:\User\Username\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32.
If you have a flawlessly working configuration you should
save it with DataBackup (SatPC32 menu "Programs"). Then you
can easily restore it if errors occure later.
