Ok, thanks for your help. The game downloads are from the KSP website where I originally bought the game from. Though it seems to now be called "Private Division"

Actually I no longer have that PC unfortunately. I am now running on a laptop 2.4GHZ i9 with 64GB ram and NVIDIA GeForce 1650 Ti 4GB graphics card. But I shall re-install to a clean folder and try again. What do I need to keep from the old installation? Are the mods all in one directory? (I seem to recall the whole mod process as being rather err.. elaborate)

thanks. I found 1.12.23 on the website and just downloaded it from there. But before I saw this post I just installed it in the same folder as my old version (as I didn't want to use up all my disk space). Not sure if that was a good idea though as it's now taken over 15 mins to start the program and it's still trying! I know KSP always used to be ridiculously slow loading, but it was never this bad! The yellow progress bar is not even half way! I read elsewhere on this forum that the Win 64bit version was full of bugs and should be avoided. Is that still the case?

It's been a while since I used KSP and I can't remember how you update it. I seem to be on v 1.9.1.2788 Thanks

But it just confuses the picture! I want to see the elliptical orbit that would go around Kerbin. No. I am burning on the correct side of mun (the side opposite Kerbin). A prograde burn there will extend my apoapsis out to Kerbin (which is what I want). But I just want to be able to see the damn orbit I am creating! Not have it suddenly break and change colour. I can't see what I'm doing!

Ok, so I am in low Munar orbit and want to get back to Kerbin. So I tried to make a maneuver node on the far side of Mun and pulled the prograde handle to elongate the orbit towards Kerbin. The brown dotted orbit is forming nicely then suddenly it breaks into a purple dotted line which is very confusing! Why will it not just let me plan an orbit to go back to Kerbin? Here's a video of what I mean https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qeiiKctzlwCPXdJzkDeVeRYwy2B8nKXr/view?usp=sharing

Well, I’m not really disagreeing. You guys clearly know more than I, so you have reassured me. I guess I just didn’t like being called gullible. Anyway. All good. Thanks again and apologies for any intemperate language.

Why does that make me gullible? It makes very specific points and I don’t see what the motivation would be to fabricate them. Conversely perhaps you’re too much of a fanboy not to believe them? In any case, I’ll go and look for other threads. thanks all

It's a pretty old machine to be honest! I don't think you guys need all that much tissue. I somehow doubt you're all struggling with 486s and 16MB of RAM....

Hmm.. that's strange. I don't get that menu if I right mouse click over a part. I am on 1.9.1 However, I can seem to move the viewpoint a bit by holding down the mousewheel as a button and moving the mouse. Thanks for that!

When you say "right click menu" what do you mean? If I right click, I get nothing.

In the VAB I can pan up and down with the mouse wheel. But this doesn't work on the launch pad. How can I pan up and down there?

Ok, I have installed recall from CKAN. Works now Thanks

Ok, thanks. I just tried what you suggested and I am not really seeing any glitchiness even with big craft. So i think I must have had something else running last time. Thanks anyway.
