Thanks Alan and SebastiĆ :

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the problem. I have not
started using MPCORB. Asteroid settings on Display/Data Shown are
"Fixed" mag "22" "label" and "red." No asteroids at any level.
Perhaps I am missing something from the asteroid folder? Lots
there, including a bunch of data in the subfolder "ASTEROID." I hate
to reinstall before checking other solutions.
