Usually Jyotish Tools will keep this width the next time you run the program.
FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions):
- Q:Does Jyotish Tools work on Windows 7?
A:Installations on two computers running Windows 7 installed and ran Jyotish Tools for Windows. When the registration key was entered the program crashed but when the program was restarted in ran okay and was registered.
- Q:Does Jyotish Tools work on Windows Vista?
A:There have been some recent reports of failures perhaps due to Service Pack updates however results are inconclusive. Try the free trial first.
- Q: I entered my data but the ascendant is wrong.
A: This can be for several reasons. The most common is that horoscopes you have done before were for western "tropical" astrology. Jyotish is "sidereal" astrology and there can be around a 23 degree difference. To understand this more fully take some classes from an experienced Jyotish teacher.
Another common reason is the incorrect input of the time zone. In Junior Jyotish the time zone was automatically adjusted for east or west of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) however this caused problems with cities located near GMT so with Jyotish Tools for Windows, the Pocket PC and Quick Jyotish you need to enter a + for zones west of GMT and - for zones east of GMT.
Other incorrect data input such as latitude for longitude and vice versa or incorrect direction settings can cause incorrect charts. Don't forget to check if DST was in effect.
- Q: I can't find my town or city in the built-in atlas.
A: The built-in atlases have a limited number of cities. For a more complete atlas purchase the standalone ACS Atlas which also includes Daylight Time correct. Support is available for the ACS Atlas in Jyotish Tools for Windows and the Pocket PC only.
- Q: My Pocket PC or Palm battery went dead. How do I reinstall the program?
A: Just reinstall the program from your desktop PC. You will not need a new key. In some cases newer Pocket PC devices can install programs to Flash ROM. This is the best place to install your program if you are not using the device constantly as it will not be lost if the battery goes dead. On the Palm the Palm Desktop program is used to install Jyotish To Go and on the Pocket PC just run the Setup program.
- Q: My Palm won't take the 10 character key?
A: There are two fields to enter the key. Enter the first 5 characters in the first field and the second 5 characters in the second field. Do not enter the dash (-).
- Q: Can I order a CD of my software?
A: In the past DigiBuy made a CD available for an extra fee available. At this time SWReg does not offer this service nor does JyotishTools. Our largest program is Jyotish Tools for Windows which is less than 7 megabytes. The PDA programs are all very small and no trouble to download. Most users don't require a CD but if your Internet connection is only available from work and downloading is prohibited your IT manager may be able to download it for you. If an Internet Cafe does not permit downloading check with the manager and they may be able to download it for you. Or a friend or neighbor may be able to download the program for you. The program can easily be stored on a USB thumb drive.
