Hi Larry....this cropped up after the LAST update; I have been using Guide for a decade
and never had this problem. I operate 13 computers between three observatories and all of
them have lost the ability to show the name of the bright stars selected as described.

Attempts to reload each update repeatedly have failed, so I am simply at a loss to
understand what file must be missing that I need that would not be replaced with the
updates.

I have begged for help for several months now.
