Hi Bill,


I also use the 29 May 2006 version and I have no problem with the asteroids.
Even if I enter a name or number in the dialog "Go to an asteroid".

Unlike Bertrand, when I have downloaded an update, I always unzip _all_ the
files to my Guide directory. Existing files are always overwritten. I never
lost any setting or personalization.

Also I copied the two CD-ROM to my hard disk, rather than using "Install to
hard drive...". Of course, I adapted Startup.mar accordingly (18 drive
C:\GUIDE8\).

I used MPCORB a long time ago and then I erased the .DAT file (mpcorb.lim
29.07.2004 remains). I just downloaded MPCORBcr.dat. Then "Use MPCORB" was
no more greyed out and I checked it. Everything was normal. I unchecked and
Guide continued tu run normally.
