Hi, wonder if anyone else has this problem under windows Vista?
Every time I start running Orbitron, I have a screen open and tell me that the TLEs are out of date and need updating, no matter how many times you update this message always appears on startup?
regards

Vista "protects" Program Files.
That means you never get a Tle update.

Vista is different and to avoid user confusion I
recommend installing Orbitron into e.g. C:\Tools\Orbitron rather than the
C:\Program Files\Orbitron.

I had the same problem with windows 7.

Open your windows explorer and find the directory where the program is installed.
Right click on that directory and open properties.
My directory was read only. I changed that and now it works.

Good luck,
