Sorry, but I made a simple, but insane mistake...
Astrohelper works fine now.
After I reviewed a previous setup up version in another older folder
I had found the longitude and latitude were swapped over, obviously I was in made rush to setup the program, with a busy life a all that.
That would also explain why I had to set the timezone to an unformililar
setting of -9 when it should have been +11 for DST and +10 for normal time.
The Alt and Azimuth are very close to the others now...
So I was just a simple mistake, hopefully others can learn
form this somewhere.
cheers... jason
PS. By rebuilding the previous PC, re-installing windows and starting from scratch, astrohelper re-started again. So it was most likely a permision thing, like you said.
Esp since I previous also had problem with the modem and now it also works as well.
Thanks for the tip!
