Martin, is there a particular reason for using K3? I used it for a number of years for guiding and I found it very hit and miss. Or maybe it was me or my mount, but I struggled to obtain consistent results. When PHD came along I never looked back.

I'm a big fan of K3 but its guiding setup could be a bit more intuitive.

As for you current prob I never used a long exposure ToUcam. If you have your camera set to Normal Camera in the settings you may be able to do away with the parallel port. My setup was normal Toucam, usb connection, serial connection from mount to serial/usb converter to laptop and that was it. I did find some of the USB/Serial converters a bit hit and miss though
