[amsat-bb] Using Nova tracker in Windows 8.1

[Stefan Wagener]

Hi Graham,

I am running NfW within 8.1 Pro with no problems. I don't use any
compatibility settings and just run the executable as administrator within
NFW32 Properties. Using version 2.2c

Sometimes a clean install will do the trick (again).

73, Stefan VE4NSA
