Have you tried running deep sky in XP compatibility mode? How about running it as administrator? I'm running DS on the 32 bit Vista and it works GREAT. Peace, ...
Tried loading it under 'Administrator', tried running it under 'Administrator' and it still comes up stating "Failed to load Control 'ctiLogSpreadNew' form."...
Hi: I've been able to run Deepsky, Starry Night, The Sky, etc., etc. In fact I have not run across an astro program Vista (32 bit) which WON'T RUN. That, to...
I have the solution. My old laptop has XP and a 30G drive its going to be the NEW, Astronomy and Ham Radio Portable Computer. I have portable battery power...
Ok, I am moving Deep Sky from the Vista computer to the XP computer as this one is going to be the Astronomy and Ham Radio computer. I found out that there is...
Stinks? NOT! Vista 32 bit is working just fine for me, as well. (Voice Recognition doesn't control DAS very well but that's something for Steve to work on...
Bink, User Prefs > File Locations sets the location of your Hubble Guidestar Catalog (HGC). Pick one, delete the other if the 177MB size is an issue with you...
What does the program base the difficulty and best difficulty on? the magnitude of the object? I should be able to see all of the messier objects in my grab...
I know you probably getting sick of my nonsense but I have been playing around with the charting a bit with various objects. Skytools works great with Nebulas...
Shouldn't you be posting this to the SkyTools list? And...what _are_ your "fav Globulars"? Peace, Rod Mollise Author of Choosing and Using a Schmidt Cassegrain...
HI Steve: I won't try to convince you it's a good thing. But it is _the_ thing. A lot of folks didn't like XP when it debuted, either, resolving, "I'm...
Yeah, and a copy of Skyglobe 3.6 to go along with it. :-) Believe me, fond as your memories of those simpler PC/astroware days may be, you don't want to go...
Dare I suggest this? Would it be too much to ask people posting replies to snip out all the previous postings (except the short extract that are actually...
I saw Steve's post(rant?) just at bedtime in my email the other night and did not fire off an immediate response (Wisely, I believe; after all, I do NOT want...
As I sat making out my multi-page checklist for next week's Perseids I also pined for the "good olde days". Expletive- deleted, I can't believe how much...
One thing that would be great (but not easy and perhaps not feasible) relates to the observation flags on the database. When you note an observation from your...
Vista was a stinker as an upgrade, for me. I had to do a clean install. After doing that it runs fine. I have zero issues with it now. The one thing I don't...
Hey all - just getting back inside after putting my POD together. It took all day and now I am really tired and sore. But it sure looks nice sitting in the...
Just a little information for those considering a move to Vista. As a system builder, I have never recommended anyone have Vista of any flavor installed unless...
Steve, You could just run Vista in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (free). Then you would only be running Vista when you wanted to, after your machine was fully...
Hi Mike, If you mark the object observed in all catalogs, how do you know which objectid/catalog combination is in your logbook? Right now, you can right click...
That's a good idea. Maybe if one observation is found for the object, it takes you right to the form, but if more than 1, going to the summary screen sounds...
There is no doubt that Vista requires current hardware. I have NOT installed it on any of my older machines, and probably won't. For me, I've had best results...
I have probably looked over the answer more that once, BUT, I can't find it... I have installed the "AstroCards add-on-disk." SO, how do I get to look at...
