Starry Night update prob

[matt]

I'm having a few problems with Starry Night Enthusiast V5.

Whenever I update my software I lose all my saved settings. Everything. Home location, star sizes (max and min), Home location view (panorama) constellation outline and stick figure colours etc etc

Everything!

Is it a fault in the software or is there a setting so that it updates your software without erasing all your settings you've taken so long to gradually tweak???

:doh:

Is this updating software or when updating asteroid, comet and satellite info?

[matt]

Pretty sure it's only after software updates. Although those updates can also include new asteroid, comet and satellite updates????

How often do you do software updates?

I downloaded the PowerUpdate for SN Enthusiast 5 from the SN website and occasionally open it to check for updates. I only use it when I remember to run it.

Why?

Just trying to work through what could be going on. No idea at the moment.

Ok I just did a full upgrade on my pro 5.7 to 5.8.2 using the PowerUpdater and didn't loose any of my settings. I tried to do an upgrade of my Enthusiast 4.5 but wasn't able to. It was a freebee so must have some sort of upgrade prevention on it. :shrug:

Sorry I can't help Matt.

No worries. Thanks anyway Paul.

I'm gonna get in touch with the good folk at Imaginova and see what's doing?
