Mine is in the Guide9 folder and it works fine.

I am puzzled. It is not that difficult normally.

We must be missing something simple.

To me it is either the line in Guide dat or the files in the ucac4
folder. I would delete the line from guide.dat and save. Open Guide9 and
use alt-j, enter the line to ucac4 folder just like it was in guide.dat,
close guide9 and restart, zoom to less than one degree and see if you
have ucac4 stars.

If it is the ucac4 files, with the line above, you should have 900 files
in the ucac4 folder. if you have a sub folder, copy all the files from
the sub folder into the ucac4 folder, delete sub folder.
