Just an update:
I thought it was a 64 bit prob, so I installed a fresh copy of vista 32bit on a separate partition. After the usual hours of updates, installing drivers and then finally installing PHD, guidmaster et al..........I still have the same problem.
The Gstar program ( and a couple of other vid cap programs) pick up the Gstar clr no probs!
When I go to PHD or Guidemaster and choose wdm cam ( via usb to composite capture device) it says cannot load image ( something to that effect). However if I choose my logitech cam (straight usb plug) it picks it up.
If I choose other cam options in PHD or GuideMaster, I get the BSOD with ( and I just managed to see it) an error of emBDA.sys.
I have even tried it on my very old xp laptop ( which I had trouble with installing c++ from PHD/Microsoft - but after once again a few hours of frelling around , fixed it) and still get the same result as above and below!
I called Steve at Myastroshop, and as much as he was a very helpful and patient (Thanks Steve). no luck. He put me on to Dr Jack Giles and I was on the phone to him for I think about 45 min ( also thanks Jack for your time). And also no luck.
So I have googled and googled. Hacked the registry, re-downloaded apps etc.Tried hours of so called solutions.....
All I want to do is use the Gstar either as a capture device ( no probs ) or as a guide camera so I can use my DSLR for capture.
I'm going to try the gstar ex Yahoo forums ( if they have accepted me????still waiting for an acceptance email).
I'm posting this in the hope it might help others or maybe jog the memory of some who have had a similar prob....
Cheers
Bartman
P.S. anyone want to sell a dedicated guide cam ( usb of course) maybe a QHY5....or any other suggestions would be most welcome.....MORE MONEY TO SPEND!
So I went to Yahoo....no luck either. Somebody had the same prob but no solution.
