I'm trying to get Satpc32 working on Win7. I have ver 12.8c loaded and it works fine for tracking but so far I have not been able to get the rotor interface working.
I have an LVB Tracker and it's on Com 5. I can manually move the antennas with the SDX server window but NOT from witing the program.
I found and old (from 2010) message from W7IN detailing the exact same problem I'm having and a response from Erich.
My problem as defined by Larry:
I have a Windows 7 Inspiron desktop. I just installed the SatPC32 for
GS-232. When I start SatPC32, it does not automatically also start SDX
as on my other computer. I can start SDX manually and can use the
"manual input" thing on SDX to speak with the GS232, reading current
position etc. But when I click up R+ SatPC32 has no contol over SDX and
the rotors do not move when I tell them to--like selecting "park." What
to do? Other features in SatPC32 seem to be working.

From Erich:
I've tried ALL the suggestions, even as Administrator but still no joy.
Perhaps over the last 7 years the program has changed the location and format of some of the config/ SQF files???
It seems when I update the Rotor Setup settings the RotorServer.SQF file in the SatPC32 folder is NOT being updated.
C:\Users\KC2TN\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32 is the location of the RotorServer.SQF file
Any ideas? Anyone?
Tnx, Joe - KC2TN
