Hi: Some one helped me before with an Orbitron problem but I lost his e- mail address. The problem is I got a new laptop with Vista Everything works except it won,t download the keps on the internet. The strange part it says it is doing the download but it never shows the update on the sat /Orb info on the program. When I first bring the program up on my computer it says to update because they are over 30 days old. So I say yes to up date but it never gets to the program. I have worked it this for quite awhile with no success. Jerry w0sat

Hello Jerry,
I had the same problem on windows 7. How did I solve this? I went to the windows explorer and selected the orbitron directory with the right mouse button and then selected "properties" The entire directory was read only so I couldn't update the kepler data. Just give it a try.
Good luck! 73, Eric
