I would suggest reinstalling SATPC32 and be prepared to redo your settings afterward.

If you backup:

C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Application Data\SatPC32

before you reinstall and then restore that file afterward, you may be successful in restoring your previous settings.

Appreciate the assist Glenn
Backed-up settings,    uninstalled satpc32 12.9,   restored backed-up settings.  Still cant find  amateur.exe file  and now cant find  ORBSMANU.ELE when I try to search under the  SAEBRT Trackbox  in rotor setup.  Wonder if something is wrong with the settings I saved  then reinstalled ?  Any thoughts..  //Ed

The file ‘orbsmanu.ele’ and 'amateur.txt' (not .exe) are both Keplerian element files for the satellites. If these are missing, you may want to use the update Keplerian elements feature and select these files/websites to reload them.

Glenn,
The error msg clearly says AMATEUR.EXE right as the program first runs.

Ed,

I do not have SATPC32 installed at the moment as I am building a new station at my new QTH so I cannot check that file name for you. Hopefully someone else can jump in.
