Subject: Autostar Suite Astronomer Edition software AZ/EQ series


I just bought a Meade 60AZ-AD refracting telescope. When I attempt to
install the Autostar Suite Astronomer Edition software AZ/EQ series that
came with the telescope, I get this error message: d:\GSC\N0000\001.GSC
Cannot open file. (D is the source drive for the software disk.)

I created a Meade "ticket" and submitted it properly (August 23), but Meade
hasn't answered.

Can anyone offer me any help? Is Meade always this bad regarding customer
service?

Thanks

The few times I've dealt with Meade tech support the results have been
satisfactory.

Your problem appears to simply be a bad CD. Maybe you can just call them
for a new one, or even get a replacement from the same place you bought
the scope.

You could try copying the CD onto your hard drive. If there are only a
few unreadable files, and they are all in the GSC folder, you can
download the GSC data to fill in the gaps.

Hi:

Nothing occurs to me right off the bat. Can the PC read the CD? I mean
does it mount, can you look at the disk with My Computer?

Anyway, the best place to get a quick answer is at the Yahoogroups
Autostarsuite group:

I want to thank everyone who took the time to respond and try to help me.
Meade promised to send me a new CD.
