A few questions before answers.
What mount are you using?
Can you control the mount from you computer already or do you need to set that up as well?
As for the ST4 guiding you dont need guide in that way, in fact it's much easier to pulse guide and it's one less cable you need to worry about. You'll need to plug your laptop into the mount to control it.
Just plug the usb cable into the camera and laptop then open PHD click on the camera tab. This should bring up the equipment profile.
Select and select "Starshoot Auto guider" for the camera and "Ascom Telescope Chooser" for the mount.

You will need open the options of the ascom telescope chooser and select the driver for your mount.

You will need make sure you ascom platform installed and configured for the mount though.

We need a bit more info to get you up and running I think.

Thanks
Sandy
