SatScape problems?

I cant get it too install on my Vista computer, but it will install on my older non vista computer. Any ideas?
I haven't had any trouble running it on Win 7
How are you trying to install? Do you have administrator privileges on the PC?

I do have admin privileges. It seems to install fine but when I try to open the program I get a message about some file that did'nt install properly. I'll have to try agian and I'll right down the message.
I cannot find that dll file on either of my Win 7 PC's and the one was upgraded from vista. There is a chance you could download that file on the internet and put it in the /windows/sytem directory and it would work, I am sure it is just a DirectX version 8 dll for visual basic. You may just have to do some searching to find out how to get that dll registered on a vista pc so satscape will work or you could try Orbitron, which I think is a little nicer. It loads faster and when you want sat pass predictions it sorts them by time.
You could use the N2YO website. Then there is no need to install anything. You can create bookmarks that go straight to the predictions for the satellite you are interested in.
