Hi all,
I have a major problem, I work for Education Queensland and have been using the provided laptop (windows 7) to control a HEQ5 Pro mount through a GPUSB adaptor using PHD Guiding as well as controlling a DSLR or a QHY9 - no problems.
Last week I resumed school and since we connocted to the system I have not been able to use PHD to connect to my mount and the QHY9 is no longer recognised. Ed Qld regularly send out "adjustments" for how our computers work which is my main suspect for the dramas.
I can control the GPUSB using a check tool from shoe string astronomy but no software will communicate. I have tried deleting and re-installing both PHD and K3CCD (which can also use the GPUSB to guide) and the drivers - no luck.
They also lock off the recycle bin which I can restore using a batch file so I'm wondering if I can find where the fault is I might be able to reverse the setting.
Any ideas how I might be able rectify this? Our IT guy has no idea what they have done but is not surprised. I have sent a request to the IT dept but there has been no reply.
Am I going to have to buy a laptop to use the schools equipment (scope, mount and camera) or is there a way around?
Please help if at all possible:sadeyes::sadeyes:
