Yes,
I use it all the time.....
Just select the telescope from the drop down list and similarly for your camera - you can also select a suitable target object to better visualize the FOV
It then gives the plate scale and the possible FOV.
If your telescope or camera are not listed you can manually enter the details....

Do you have a particular issue????

Hmmm
I have the download files in a CCDCalc folder in c:/ not in program files....
I just run the ccdcalc.exe to bring up the info screen etc.

Not sure why your's doesn't do the same.....

It's great, use it all the time when building scopes, buying\checking out cameras and EP's.
