I recently upgraded to windows 10 Pro. Almost all apps ran without issues. However focuspal software for electrical motor focus control would not behave. I continually receive "SystemError & H80004023(-2147467229)" hence the app closes down. Uninstalled the software and re installed the app several times without success. As well contacted ShoeString Astronomy for a fix and the answer was they cannot duplicate the error although it is written for pre windows 10.
I did have a comparable error with the polemaster driver but it was corrected when I approached QHY so it not so unusual.
I ask if someone has had this problem and what was the fix or workaround. Or is there other software for driving a JMI focus motor via a Shoestring Astronomy FCUSB.

Daryl,
I use that software to control my focus motors....
I have Win7 and win10 installed.....
Let me double check and get back to you.
Did you re-install as Administrator?

Daryl,
Focus Pal works for me on both the Win7 and Win10 (1903) machines.....
Don't know what to suggest.

Thanks Ken
I'll try the re install as the administrator and see what eventuates after the un install.

Finally received a driver from ShoeString Astronomy for the motor focus control. It was a FCUSB combined driver that did the trick.
Thanks for all the replies.
