need help new
      #2080528 - 12/29/07 12:34 AM

hi all, i could use a little help...i downloaded a trial version of maxim dl. it recognizes my celestron cpc 1100 telescope, but it will not recognize the star shot solar color imager 2 . when i go to connect it says an error has occured while attempting to communicate with the camera. i also have a mead dsi, and with that it says the camera link has failed. i used the latest updates and drivers from the website, with no luck. when i use starry night pro it recognizes maxim dl but then it says...maxim ccd camera set link enabled, could not link to maxim dl. can you disable the "set link?" or does anyone know how to get these to all work together?

Have you verified the COM port is correct for the camera?
Those are messages you get when it's not set right.
