Exactly. And I do astro-photo to relax but this is the kind of s||t I have to sort out at work on a daily basis. I want time-out.
Anyway it's working now but why does it have to be so painful?

Once setup you dont even know they are there. In some of the old versions of driver you had to manually place the dll files in the maxim folder. Now its just a double click and it does it all for you. I have also used the removal tool on my old laptop (vista 32) with no probs at all but it never worked well for me on XP but niether did the camera or serial port drivers etc etc (time to upgrade mate, XP is dead ). |
Yeah but my laptop is still running the 8 and the 5 just great. Gives me more flexibility than the new drivers so I'm making the most of it. If it ain't broke...

Fair enough but nah... Tom should write all the drivers and Qui stick to the hardware.

Good stuff. I didn't think about using Ezycap. Will have to give it a go.
I think Theo dropped it on the CD too.
