Here's an odd thing. Goodness knows how many times over the years I have configured a new astro computer with "all the usual suspects " including ASCOM and EQMOD. But this time, I can't get EQMOD to load.

I'm configuring a fit-PC2i (one of those small fanless computers that operate on 12 VDC and are barely 4 inches square. I've just installed a 120 GB SSD so it is almost entirely silent, draws barely 10 watts of power and ... So much for the commercial.

I've loaded it with Win 7 Professional 32 bit. All the other programs seem to open and operate fine - but EQMOD is the stand-out because it will not load. It's usual first screen (that rectangular window) flashes up two or three times and disappears again. Blowed if I know. I've re-installed both EQASCOM and ASCOM (and yes they are both the latest versions) to no avail. I know the answer with be embarassingly simple, but would someone out there tell me anyway please?
