Telescope Reviews: Envisage issue

I couldn't figure out why none of my darks were saving over the last few nights.. So I did some indoors testing today with my DSI and envisage and this is what happens step by step:

1)I select "Take Darks" from the "Image Process" drop down, and hit "start".
2)The pop up prompt comes up reminding me to "Cover the Objective" and I click "ok" and it runs through the exposures based on the time parameters set in the First and Last Exposures boxes.
3)Then it gives me a pop up "No Dark Frames Found" and directs me to "Select [take darks] from the Image Process pull down to create dark frames", and so I click "ok"....
4)Then I get a pop up saying "Dark Frames Complete" and prompts me to uncover the telescope.

Seems like that is backwards.. It also looks like the software is trying to checkmark the Dark Subtract checkbox after running the exposures and that is when the prompt of "No Darks found".. No dark files are ever saved in the specified directory or any other directory on the hard drive.

I couldn't tell you when the last time it worked correctly was, but I haven't gone after DSOs in a while and I haven't tried to use darks in a while either. The system is a Vaio with an Intel chipset, 1 GB RAM, 2.0 GB proc, and XP MCE with Service pack 3.

So far, I've tried changing the darks directory in the software. When you try to manually check mark the "Dark Subtract" box it prompts me to select "Take Darks from the Image Process pull down" and run through the process again. I've tried uninstalling Envisage and Autostar suite completely and reinstalling. I downloaded the new version 7.05 from the website to upgrade from the version 3.0 I had originally on disk. EVERY other feature and function works fine except darks. It will not save them.

Here is what is really peculiar to me - after uninstalling and reinstalling, I go into the "settings" menu to choose my directories and enter my information and it is already there as it was before I uninstalled the first copy. That suggests to me that even though I uninstalled, there are residual files this thing leaves on the system and it picked those old files up again upon reinstall.

Has anyone experiened this? Does anyone know what/where files are left behind after an uninstallation so I can go fish them out? This really sucks now that I finally have my autoguiding working right, now my capture software is screwing up. I'd post this in the software section but last time I posted there, it took too long to get a response..
