Erich,

I run 12.8a. Your first suggested fix fixed it!  Thanks.  Now another 
question.

Whenever I start SatPC32, I get a modal message box containing 
"OLE-Fehler 8004503A, ClassID: {A5584957-EF07-419C-BACD-9931F1256D92} 
."  What is this about?  It happens twice upon starting SatPC32, plus at 
other times including when I either OK or Cancel out of the Satellites menu.

I'm now waiting for a good pass to check out the whole system.
