[TrevorW]

I've got a new computer

loaded DSLR Focus

Windows 7

[TrevorW]

I seemed to have got everything else working but not DSLR Focus

wifi connected
maxim connects and controls the camera
stellarium appears to working (note there is a new version of stellarium scope)

however with DSLR Focus it activates the shutter and then hang

tried varying com ports (no apaprent conflict)

correct driver installed ???

DSLR Focus doesn't work on Vista (from my experience) so I suspect it wouldn't work on Windows7.

Have you tried XP comp mode ? I run Win 7/64 and there's nothing that I havent been able to run in comp mode yet.

Try running FocusMax. I'll be dammed if I can get it to work on a 64 bit windows 7 machine.

Right clicked select properties changed to run in XP mode

still didn't work so I deleted it might just have to settle for Maxim

I tried out the latest V for you and got it running fine in Vista sp2 mode.
It is important tho that your hardware supports virtual machine mode and that it is actually enabled in bios. Other thing I did was install using vista comp mode as well.
good luck.

Well my machine doesn't have the hardware to support vm mode

You should be able to use Virtual Box it is free and does work on machines that don't support VM mode the only thing is you will need a valid XP licence to install xp in it.
