Astro Tortilla

After a lot of research, I finally installed Astro Tortilla v0.7 plate solving software.
The equipment I am using is a NEQ6 mount, ED127 scope with Canon 60D camera.
Supporting software is EQascom, BYE and Cartes du Ciel on a Win Vista laptop

When I used AT for the first time last night I had a problem with AT hanging when recentering.
My images were solved OK, however when I had the sync & recentre options selected the AT status bar would hang on "recentreing...." but the mount did not move. The program would then go back into capture and solve mode.
I later started a polar alignment session using AT and the slewing seems to be working AOK in that session, but I didn't get to finish it due to clouds rolling in.
I suspect that the issue is related to EQmod. I had EQmod set on "Append on sync" as one of the AT turtorials indicated, but I have read further and on another forum it is suggested to change to "Dialog based"

Any suggestions or other ideas?
