Terry, WOW!
I've been running TheSkyX for years now and never seen a version that old. Is that the real version number or a typo?
As Jonathan wrote over on the SB forums, your TheSkyX is a few years old. Please install the newest full install, the update, then the daily build as per Jonathan's instructions. You do need to apply the TheSkyX daily build and not just the full install and update because even the last update was something like last September and there's been a lot of activity since then.
You can also install the latest CCDSoft daily build. I think the CCDSoft daily build has a manual install, where you open the archive and copy a .EXE file over the top of the older one. So you should first rename your old one. Not as much has changed there. Few bug fixes is about all I think.
All things considered, you're probably also running an old version of the X2 to ASCOM converter as well. Please download and install the latest one from ascom -standards.org. Or maybe you're still trying to use TELEAPI? If so, please switch over to using the X2 to ASCOM converter instead. I remember the unmarshal problem having been fixed. I think by Evan Warkentine or Bob Denny.
I suspect after you update your TheSkyX, CCDSoft and X2 to ASCOM converter versions, that the problem will be fixed. In any case, please do those things and report back (to the SB forum). I'm just a user like yourself. I don't work for SB.

They don't seem to keen of assisting ASCOM problems though.

Actually they are very keen on resolving problems. They can't however fix ASCOM problems. If the problem turns out to be in ASCOM (the driver in question or in the converter) and not TheSkyX, or if it's not clear where the problem is, then it also needs to be posted over on the yahoogroups.com ASCOM-Talk forum so that the ASCOM guys can see it. Sometimes when ASCOM is involved its still not at all clear exactly where the problem is. In that case many people (including the reporting user) may have to work together to resolve the problem. Of course, if it turns out to be a TheSkyX problem and they can reproduce it, then it can get fixed directly said fix appearing in the next daily build. Note that although the build occurs daily, it doesn't get released until needed and stable.
