I also use maxim, and had a dreadfull time getting it right. As soon as it started, the guide star just moved off screen really fast.
I use it on my RCX, yet i could not get it to guide. After some mucking about, i found if it points east or west i also have to set or unset the meridian flip.
This should only be on German mounts and not fork mounts, but for some reason maxim needs to know which direction its facing. Try this first.
As for other settings, start with 5 as the Aggresivness, as it slowly moves the scope back if it drifts. Secondly i agree that you need to disable the DEC settings all together. I normally use anything from 1 second to 10 seconds exposure for my guiding.
