Ernie, Which “Update version” of Win-10 are you running on (perhaps # 2004 ?). With deference and due respect to Bill Long, I have recently started having “system-erased password” problems connecting

Hi Ray, FYI. To your point #4, no need to find one. Recall that there is a Windows provided off-line memory test – under START->ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS –> “Windows Memory Diagnostic”. The user can run a

Thanks Ray, You bring up some interesting conditions. However, there were no warning messages, since I would always immediately react to them. In my case last night, I merely drifted along, thinking t

Hi Ray, Last night, for the first time, I found myself with my AP-1200 “Emergency Parked” while I was using SKY CHARTS to position the mount for a photo. When I happened to glance at the bottom of the

My personal apology, Bill. I’m not bashing your employer – just very frustrated with its problems in the last Update. I have never owned an Apple product, nor want to, or used any another OS – MAC or

Hi Curtis, Perhaps Bill felt I was bit unkind to MS, with my choice of words, but Microsoft’s semi-annual major updates are scheduled in the Fall and Spring of every year, and they “had been” neither

Hi Curtis and Ray, If you aren’t aware, the “new Win-10 DEFENDER” antivirus program that always came free with the OS, has a newly “enabled” default feature in the recent Win-10 Build-2004 screw-up. D

Hi Pete, I agree, DEFENDER is generally a good AV program - even though I sounded like MS Defender bashing. I have never used any other antivirus program regularly over the past decades, except Defend

I agree, The two antivirus programs are independent, but Defender hasn’t changed much in many years, so it is just testing its new features now. Consider it a trigger happy Beta for a couple of its ne

Hi George, By any chance are you now running with the Build 2004 Update of Win-10? Microsoft ... “drastically changed” its DEFENDER antivirus program in this recent major update - and added new featur

Michael, AP sells DELRIN Clutch plugs as a kit – and I suggest getting spares just in case you lose one, or have a problem fitting it in. However, You will need AP’s simple but special tool - and fair

Hi Mike, slightly off topic, but in regard to your wise suggestion about doing a Restore Point. Have you personally had success with “Restore Point Recovery” under e.g. Win-10 (PRO) ? I have yet to ge

Mikko, There may be “oxidized connector pins” on the RA box, and likely DEC as well. Disconnecting and reconnected the Y-cable probably cleaned them up – a bit. Maybe try a contact cleaner spray on bo

Shailesh - FYI Per Chris’s recommendation, if you are going that way - Saw a 119FSA on AstroMart a few minutes ago, just posted today. Hurry if interested. Astro-Physics Flat Plate Adapter 119FSA ($10

Dominique, Don’t want to scare anybody about this problem – but I would be VERY careful – with using a hair dryer on your expensive AP Keypad. If it helps momentarily by cooking the oil, perhaps bubbl

AP-Support: As an after thought about Keypad’s buttons eventually becoming too oily and losing their circuit board pad contact, may I suggest that AP Tech Support, with their usual excellent customer

Hi Dominique, Don’t worry. No need to send your Keypad to AP for repair. Fixing buttons on ANY “rubber membrane” keypad (TV Remote, cordless Phone, AP Keypad, etc.), is easy, if you are careful. I hav
