Hi Brendan,

Back from holiday now so have had a look at the driver issue you reported. I have downloaded the latest driver and installed and can confirm it is V3.5 with the new client reverse checkbox.

I suspect I might know what your problem is. I think you may have a driver dependency situation when installing the new driver. This is 'usually' caused by having a client program active when installing the new driver. Because the client puts a dependency on the driver Windows cannot uninstall the old driver completely and leaves the .DLL in place. It's a safety feature but a PITA IMO.

- Close all client programs
- Uninstall the old V3.4 driver
- Check for the file 'ASCOM.SharpSky.Focuser.dll' in this directory
C:\Program Files\Common Files\ASCOM\Focuser
- If said file is present after uninstalling delete the .dll file

Install the new driver.

I can tell you have the V3.4 driver and not the V3.5 driver from your screen shot because it does not have the client reverse checkbox.

Hope that fixes the problem, please let me know.

Clear skies,
