You must not replace the TLE files in the program folder, they are only used the first time the program is initialized.

The location you must put the files is show in a message if you click the "Download TLE" button in the Calendar.
For Windows 7 this must be: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Skychart\satellites\

Update to Resolved - User Error.

  Placed the TLEs in the correct folder and all works as expected now. Checked against XP 2.76c and all values are valid.

  Thank you. And Thank you for this software, especially now that the Satellites are back in it.

Thank you for your confirmation.
BTW satellites are back in V3 since 2010 :)

I make a change in revision 2961 to indicate the date of validity for the first element in the TLE file. See screenshot.
This my help to avoid this problem.
