I have given up on the hassle and am now using a very cheapy laptop for the guider and my normal observatory computer for the imaging camera. Both run CCDSoft and work independantly perfectly well. I can also have my old QHY guider running at the same time on the observatory computer.
Currently I am taking a spectra using the ST8. It is guided with the STi from the guide port on the spectrograph using the lappy. I also have the QHY guider in my guide scope as an aiming device to originally to find the dim star that I'm taking a spectra of.
So maybe 2 puters is the easy way out.

Thanks Terry.
It does seem to be a USB conflict at a guess.
It also seems to freeze the system easily as well. I am using XP for my observatory computer so I wonder if the latest driver isn't too friendly for XP?
Anyways, I can get the STi to work OK in CCDsoft V5.00.210 but it doesn't recognise the FLI camera anymore. Next I try it I will reinstall the FLI drivers as Chris recommended.
Not tonight because if it doesn't work it'll take 25 minutes to use system restore back to where it was (assuming Syste restore works as it nearly didn't last time I used it).
Greg.
