Erich, FIXED. For whatever reason, Windows 7 hides many of the files and folders in AppData, including the AppData folder. What I did was to search for Kepler, opened that folder, and then entered by hand 'nasa.all'. That seems to have fixed the problem. So why did it get messed up in the first place? We had a power outage the day this happened. Maybe SatPC32 had the folders/files open when the power glitched and left the files in a critical state. I might suggest opening the file(s) and leave a copy in memory, then close the file (if that is even the case). If I think to, I always download a new keps when I begin operation, but I have not thought to restart SatPC32 afterward. Please comment. Thanks much for the help. I've _got_ to get a good UPS for my station computer.

Larry, I don't know why you don't see the Application Data folder. You can also navigate to the folder "Kepler" from the SatPC32 menu "File", "Open".

If nothing helps uninstall SatPC32 and re-install it.

Erich, If I do a file explorer search for kepler, I see the AppData
folder.  However, in SatPC32 I do not see AppData in c:\Users\Owner,
even if I run SatPC32 as Administrator.  So I can not get at nasa.all in
the _normal_ manner.  ~Larry W7IN

Hello Larry,
when you get the error message ("No source file was found ....") click
on OK
in the message window. A dialog window will open (the Windows "Open"
dialog).
In the dialog window navigate to the folder that contains your
SatPC32 Keps
files, normally the sub folder "Kepler".  Under XP the path to that
folder
will usually be C:\Documents and Settings\Username(i.e. your
name)\Application Data\SatPC32\Kepler. Select a data file, for example
nasa.all, and click on "Open".  To store the path and filename open
the menu
'Satelliten' and click on the 'OK' - button.

My SatPC32 stopped working. I get an error message "Warnung: No source file was found for group Standard. Please select a source file for this
group after the 'OK'.  IMPORTANT: In orcer to store the filename for
later starts open the menu 'Satelliten' and click on the 'OK' - button.

The SatPC32 application sort of comes up but there is nothing in its
window.

What am I supposed to do?  SatPC32ISS gives the same problem with the
word 'ISS' substituted for 'Standard'.  Should I reinstall?
