SkyScan with TheSky 5 didn't work

[billche]

<tt>Hi all,
I install the TheSky5 and ASCOM 4.1 with Nexstar5 selected, when I establish the link with the scope, it work. Then I slew to a star and the scope actually slew to that star and the problem start here, during slewing "TheSky" will pop up a dialog box with title "TheSky TeleAPI ASCOM Plugin" and with message "The selected telescope driver is missing the RightAscension property". I click "OK" then another dialog box pop up with the same title but with another message "The ASCOM scope driver is missing the Connected property".
At this point of time, no matter how many times I click the "OK" button, it will still pop up the same message unless I manually switch off the task.
I'm using WindowXP English Home edition on a Dell Notebook, the Celestron Driver used was 4.2.15, SkyScan Ver 2.02.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Only thing I can think of is check your handpad and cable conections to the scope and computer, I have heard that some cables have a slight problem where they lose data by not making full contact. try wiggling the wires around, but dont pull on them, if it works sometimes but not others, its probably best to get new cable or try to get it wapped under warranty.

Thanks Andrew, will try that.

Cable checked with no problem, also tried lx200 and didn't work neither.
