Toucam sorted out.

Thanks to all who kindly replied to my request for assistance. Eventually I discovered I had a damaged disc. The imager hasn't been modified so I'm stuck with the moon and planets, but if I manage to get good photographs of those I'll have achieved something.
Trying to photograph Saturn one realises how much smaller the target is compared to the moon and the difficulty getting it on the computer and focusing it is very frustrating. Being at the computer and the scope at the same time is difficult and there must be a better way. If one could start and stop capture at the telescope while watching the computer screen, would be great. Has anyone achieved this? And has anyone found away to pause the recording? This also would be an asset.
Everything works well in daylight but so different under dark skys! Like the spider in RobbyBurns tale, one must keep trying, but a little help from the experienced goes a long way to success.
