LPI not working after install. Please help !! :)

Hi all

I purchased an LPI from a nice member here on IIS, and after installing it she won't go. It worked in its former employ just fine, so I know the HW's OK. The target device is an IBM laptop with adequate memory and disk running Windows 2000 Professional.

The Meade Autostar Suite disk seems to initiate the installer OK, and everything loads as described. I skip the .NET file over-writes because I already have the .NET framework installed.

As soon as the software section installs, I plug in the LPI as requested, whereupon it is meant to go and find and install the driver. I leave the CD in the drive and tell the driver routine to look there. It doesn't find it. I tell it to go look for it at MSoft across the internet. Same deal - no go.

If I go to the AutoStar Suite Astronomers Edition menu and try to fire up the LPI software, it complains that I must first install the "full version" of Autostar Suite. What gives???? Isn't that what you get with the LPI?

Has anyone any ideas so that I might be able to get this workng for Lostock this week?

Cheers - and thanks in advance

Chris
