Yup, I'm using the updates found at
http://www.projectpluto.com/update8.htm
don't know what that version level is?

Anyway, just to be safe, I downloaded the zip file again and it made
no difference. No labels. And no found asteroids when doing a
search for a particular one. I can however right-mouse-click on
the "X" and get the name, but that does me no good.

Oh, and BTW, I do have all the asteroids turned on, so it's not a
matter of the particular asteroid not being bright enough.

When I have the labeling set to "Label by number" or "Label by
number, prov" I get labels ONLY on the numbered asteroids. When I
select "label by name, prov" NONE of them have labels shown.

And I am running Windows XP, if it makes any difference.

any ideas?
