Uninstall, and reinstall the drivers perhaps?

Thanks Gary. On the XP machine I test it this morning it was the first time I'd ever installed the camera on that machine, so I think that rules out re-installing drivers etc. I believe I have the latest drivers from the appropriate website

I haven't tried re-installing on the vista machine, but not sure there's much point when the XP has failed. Worth it I suppose though, could save me $350

I usually find the same Lester but last night I was wearing much the same clothes as the last 2 weeks of observing, so am a bit stumped as to why the difference. I noticed today the humidity is 20%, which is quite low (41 degree day today) so perhaps it's a case of very low humidity combined with my usual clothes.
I have decided the chair in my observatory must be part the culprit, being a synthetic office chair type. I think I will put a cotton towel over it so it doesn't contribute to the problem.
Thanks,
Roger.
