Hello Larry,
I don't know what went wrong with your Keps file that caused the error
message.
The folder AppData is a hidden folder by default. Sorry - I forgot to
mention that in my first mail. With my PCs I have changed that setting
(Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - View). So, here all files and
folders are visible.
Regardless of the setting of that option SatPC32 displays the path of the
sub folder "Kepler" in a foot line of the menu "Satellites" and it would be
good to note that path.
Also, the data folder "SatPC32" contains a sub folder "DataRepair" with a
backup of the most important data files. If something goes wrong with a data
file that you can't fix you can copy the files from the sub folder
"DataRepair" into the main folder.
73s, Erich, DK1TB
