Actually, mine was being intermittantly funky (technical term) when I did
about anything with the time so this might be the problem. IE, sometimes
when I hit "current time" the time would advance in minute or second
increments just as if I were hitting the + button on it??.

Done. But now I seem to have another problem. Unfortunately, I don't know
if it was occurring just after the upgrade or only after the new file since I
hadn't used the planetary feature option in a few weeks. I wanted to do some
lunar browsing for an article I'm writing and found the "planetary features"
option totally non responsive. IE, I can't get the features to show up (on
any planet, not just the moon) and when I ask Guide to list features, it
tells me none are visible? I have all the planetary features options turned
on that I can think of and have checked at all zoom levels but still no go;
all the planetary .gaz files are present and accounted for as far as I can
tell. I've been using Guide since version 4 so am reasonably adept at its
sometimes kinky ways to reach menu items but can't figure out what I'm doing
wrong!

Anyone else having this problem? Could it have anything to do with the
Clementine images I've recently installed?

Cheers,
Sandy Mc.
