Hi Christian, Pierre,

As Denis mentioned, MPC did change the format of their MPCORB database. If you've
not applied the current update from

http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm

then Guide won't show designations correctly, and 'Go to Asteroid' will usually
fail. However, the program should _not_ crash, and objects should be shown, even
if you've not updated the software lately.

Is the 'Use MPCORB' item in the Extras menu checked? Try turning this off and
running on Guide's "built-in" asteroid elements; if that works, but use of MPCORB
still fails, then it's actually an MPCORB problem.

I _would_ recommend using the latest version from the above URL, though. Not only
will it fix the labelling and "go to asteroid" issues; as you'll see, it should show
MPCORB objects quite a bit faster, and other bug fixes have been made. I would also
recommend doing this because frequently, bizarre and unreproducible bugs go away
when using updated software. Corrupted files get replaced by those from the update,
so problems vanish most of the time when doing this. (If they don't, please let me
know. The current update is supposed to be quite stable.)
