Also, you'll probably do better using another capture program instead of V-Lounge that comes with the camera. I never could even get Vlounge to install on my Vista laptop. Try Astrocapture http://arnholm.org/astro/software/wxAstroCapture/

or K3CCDtools http://www.pk3.org/Astro/index.htm?k3ccdtools.htm

or maybe AMCap http://amcap.en.softonic.com/

There are others too. I like Astrocapture because it's simple. I use it in conjunction with WCTRL http://www.burri-web.org/bm98/soft/wcctrl/index.htm, but it will work by itself. Wctrl, just lets you have really good control over your camera settings and allows easy saving of them.
