Hi Robert, If its happening with the scope simulator then it doesn't seem to be associated with the serial port - or any specific ASCOM driver. I doubt that...

Sounds like you might have multiple open remote desktop connections under different user names. In this case one might have the dome connected and the other...

Just to make things clear - TheSky itself does not need any "fixing". The SB software uses DCOM, though, and thus activates the DCOM security layers for ...
