    Test:

    You can test whether this is the issue by navigating to the following web page using Internet Explorer:

    If the webpage says javascript is not enabled then it must be enabled.

    Solution:

    The Windows group policy setting to enable Java script on a per user basis:

    Force SN to use the local copy of sky guide by adding a line to prefs.txt.

    To do this:

    Navigate to the Pro (or Pro Plus) preferences folder:
    \Users<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Simulation Curriculum\Starry Night Prefs\Pro   (or \Pro Plus)

    Open up prefs.txt with notepad or another plain text editor.

    Insert

    <SN_VALUE name="UseLocalCopyOfSkyGuide" value="Yes">

    at the second to last line, before the closing </BODY> tag.
