MaxPoint & MaximDL - trying to get auto mapping working but GSC errors?

Last night I tried the auto calibration under MaxPoint to create a 100 star sky model. MaxPoint launched MaximDL - which took an exposure ok - but failed to find the GSC plate tables.

Now I pointed it to the GSC data Meade Envisage installed - but no joy. So I downloaded alot of megs of star catalogue from dc3 and the three tables, unpacked the star directorys and pointed the software to the GSC directories - but it still failed. I noticed some of the unpacks failed - on maybe 60 stars - with CRC errors.

Any idea of what to do to best improve this?

Many thanks,

Matthew
