Thanks to all for the feedback and suggestion, I setup AA5 to drive the ST2000 - and two things struck me - first the Guide/Focus screens work MUCH better than the last time I tried this - on the bench anyway - which makes it a contender, in fact probably my first choice as I already use it for pretty much everything else, it will guide, focus, plate solve etc and it is current and well supported. And I do not have to spend $500, Nice.
BUT
It froze downloading after a while - which is suspicious to say the least.
So I had obviously not found the root cause and it is not the capture software after all. It looks like my powered USB hub has failed - well partly failed - it works mostly but with an intermittent connection it would seem, possibly failing when there is some stress on the cables and/or just poor contact due to corrosion, moisture or cheap and nasty connectors (non-permanent setup).
Anyway I have a new hub and all is working well now. But I think I will try a move to AA5 and see how I get on and leave CCSoft as a backup. And perhaps there is a MountHub in the future...
