I just down loaded 2.3 and installed the patch in my aurora files, root level. I activated the software, and received an error message Error 3061, too few parameters, expect 2. I click ok, and then get multiple error 91 messages.
What did I do wrong. I probably need to uninstall and reinstall all the software, since I have never been able to get Vista to run Aurora or Starfire correctly.

Make sure you are in admin mode when you overwrite the files. I think that is probably the root of your issue.

This sounds similar to the issue I had. try turning off Universal Access Controller and then install the patch. The easiest way to find UAC is to type it into help and follow the turn off/on link.
Hope this helps.

I noti ced that my cargo ship which was carrying a commander for the ne colony had not offloaded the commander and was headed back home. I sent the ship back and re-offloaded. That went OK.

I have come across this one myself. Its because I added some code to v2.3 to detect jump gates on active sensors. Unfortunately, I screwed up and that is what caused the error. Its fixed for v2.4 but it is a fairly serious problem and one reason I will get v2.4 out soon.

Possibly. Did you use the Add Colony button on the System View to create a colony or did you just try to unload on a normal planet?

Yes, but I haven't publicized that very well. Because species have been added, its important to know the species of a new population. This is accomplished by using the species of the first colonists or by using the system view to add colony and using the currently selected species. If I allow dropping off mines to create a colony I have to take a guess at the species for a multi-species Empire (probably the most numerous), which may not be the same as the colonists en route and you end up with two populations instead of one.

I'm having a similiar issue. The ships in question, for me, are freighters. All other ships are covered by the maintenance facility without issue.
I've also had some problems getting the minor and major overhauls to work for freighters. If I use the task group screen to request either overhaul the ships are tagged but nothing happens. If I use the ship building tab in economics the overhaul is performed, but the clock continues. When the task is completed the yard is available again but the ship is still tagged in the task group screen. My only recourse is the use of the 'abandon' order. If the major overhaul is used the clock does reset and both replenish the spares.
It helps a lot.
Freighters don't use maintenance facilities and don't need overhauls. Just give the fleet containing the freighters a Freighter Maintenance Check order at a populaiton with a Commercial Freight Facility. This will replenish all spares and reset the clock instantly. This is to avoid a lot of micromanagement of freighters and colony ships so you concentrate your logistics effort on warships, survey ships etc.

My only gripe is if I leave my colony ships (both of them) orbiting the homeworld for a year, they accumulate 1 year of time since overhaul. I would think that freighters also would not accumulate TSO time if orbiting a planet with the appropriate facilities.

I prevented MF working on freighters because I didn't want them to use minerals on ships that could be reset to max spares and zero clock for free. I could add a check for them to reset their clock/spares automatically during the 5-day segment if in orbit of a CFF.

I feel like an idiot now. I'd been wondering what the CFF was for and just hadn't gone searching yet.

Queued orders will not be carried out but I hadn't covered default orders or conditional orders. In v2.4, no default or conditional orders will be checked for fleets that have at least one ship in an overhaul.

2m pop is required for the commercial freight facility, which wasn't being shown on the summary (corrected for v2.4). This fixed an anomaly in my game but that still doesn't fix the above because even the extra 2m should result in available workers of +0.98, not -1.02, which means there is an extra 2m somewhere. Please could you check the SM mods window to see if you have two commercial freight facilities.
