SGPro EQMOD connection problem with PHD/PHD2/StellariumScope

I am trying to setup SGPro and I am having some problems with telescope connection.

If I start PHD (or PHD2) and connect to my EQMOD telescope (a HEQ5 via a EQDirect cable), then I am not able to subsequently connect to the telescope with SGPro - i get a connection error message.

If I then disconnect PHD from the telescope, I am then able to connect with SGPro. however if I then subsequently try to reconnect with PHD I get a similar error message from EQMOD saying "connection error - port not available". I am also unable to connect to the mount with StellariumScope after connecting with SGPro.

Any suggestions on how I can connect SGPro, StellariumScope and PHD to my mount (using EQMOD and pulseguiding) at the same time...?

Otherwise I will be back to using PHD and StellariumScope with BYE, which is working just fine.

Thanks

SOLVED!

I found this from Jared Wellman on the main sequence software Yahoo Group:
"This is likely happening because different things are running at different levels. You either need to run all astro programs as admin or none of them as admin. It's generally recommended to run none of them as admin. "

I had SGPro set to "Run as Admin". I turned that off, and now everything connects properly
