operating mount from laptop,what 'sky' program best?

Hi folks

I have been using my GP mount with Vixen Skysensor 2000 PC for a little while.basically just getting use to it and testing,all has gone well.

I now want to operate it via a lap top,Geoff has made me cable to plug it into
keyspan adaptor and it plugs into laptop.

I have 'Starry night 3',but it does not have the bits in it to make SS2K work.

What 'sky' software could I get? to operate SS2k?,I think some will operate certain 'gotos' while others one has to down load ascom drivers.I think the EQ 6 had alot to down loaded before it would work.

Anyhow,if some one can give me advice of what I 'planeterium' program I need,that would be good.I want one that has lists,so I can scroll though and pick off my targets.I would like some good lists of double stars.

Thanks for any help.Chris
