Hello;
That's what happened to me until I discovered that everything devia it should not have spaces in it;

Well no spaces;
UCAC4_PATH=c:\guide9\ucac4

Mal with spaces;
UCAC4_PATH = c: \ guide9 \ ucac4

Acerme if I had the same problem.

greetings;

J.Tapioles

Exactly what I've done and described in my earlier post - but no ucac4 stars are shown.
