Main Base 22000

Which I cannot find an explanation for. CCDSoft is no longer supported. This is with a fresh Win7 64 bit install and all the relevant updates and patches done and CCDSoft v5.00.210. A couple of odd things on my system - a Belkin USB to serial adapter - to connect to the G11G and a Moonlite mini controller (which is also a USB to serial adapter under the covers). To make it all work together I use ASCOM v6.

Do I need to change horses - and if so where should I go Maxim? Elsewhere?
Your problem lies entirely with the Belkin USB to serial adapter when used with win7 32/64bit software.
Win7 does not support the Belkin driver and Belkin ( if you look on the box that the adapter came in) say its only good for XP. Had this problem myself and resolved it with either an AETAN or other serial 2 USB converter used with win 7 drivers.
Give SGPro a go as you get a 45 day free trial and you will fing that CCDSoft is just a dead horse.
Just my 2c but I've been down this path myself.
