Russ,
A cold start does not require you to reenter all the settings only the model (optionally needs to be updated).
If you are losing settings, such as the site or time then you need to replace the internal battery.

I should have noted that my system is in my ROR observatory.?
Summary: After my Polar Alignment with SharpCap, I decided to redo all my modeling thinking this would be a good idea after I nailed down my polar alignment.? I parked my system at CWD (bubbles leveled).? It was at this time I did the Cold Start (to erase everything in memory).? Once the system booted, I entered all my site info and then rebooted the system using Warm Restart (Since my system is in a fixed observatory).? I then tried to slew to Orion and that is when I noticed the slew was way off, and all my problems continued.
Update:? Last night was a clear night so I started all over again.? However; this time, after the data was entered and a Warm Restart was conducted, I told the system to slew to M42 and it slewed to almost dead on.? I then did the CWD park and initiated a model run using 5 stars each (East/West).? System appears to be running normal again.
Not sure why last night was different since the original problem earlier this week, I repeated the same steps as yesterday and still had the issues.? Really weird but as of right now, system is good and I don't think I will ever do another Cold Start again....LOL.
