Pete,

We need more information:
1. What version of windows are you running? XP? Windows 7? Windows 8? Something 
else?
2. please attach the debug log PHD2_DebugLog_<date-time>.txt in the PHD2 folder 
of your Documents folder.

Thanks,
Andy

hi Andy 
no worries sorry i didn't put the windows version it is XP 
I will go to the observatory and see if I can get the debug log and attach for 
you 
I did try the other Orion camera I have which is a 5 mp solar system imager but 
that just shut the hole thing down 

cheers
pete

hi there Andy 
well I have self fixed the problem I noticed I had a very old driver for the 
Star Shoot Auto Guider it was ver 1.4
I went to the Orion site and upgraded to ver 2 for XP and wham it connected 
straight away will see how it all goes tonight but PHD 2 will not work with the 
real old drivers of ver 1.4 but is very easy to upgrade to ver 2 for xp and ver 
4 for vista and up sorry if I caused any inconvenience to you but it was user 
error 
all the best 
cheers
pete
