... Chris: I don't wish to be argumentative here, but you make it sound as if Software Bisque has some goodies hidden in TheSky6 that they reserve for the...
I can't comment on your specific problem but if all else fails remember this: just because Vista came preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it. Check your...
Well, we tried spinning off an ASCOM-Users group but all the users simply either stayed here or joined both groups. The fact is, those who work on ASCOM...

I've followed these latest threads with more than a little bit of sadness, sadness with the fact that so many competent and intelligent programmers haven't...
I am currently running ASCOM 4.1 on Vista. Initially, i encountered the same problem as yours. Now its working fine. What i did was i turned off "UAC" - User...
... That's only partly true as far as I can tell. Yes, the Paramount is one of the most solid small mounts available (perhaps the most solid). But to take ...
Joe, (And the primary contributor's to ASCOM!) I definitely have the utmost respect for Yourself, Chris R., Chris P., and Bob Denny. Then there's Ajai, and...
Bob, I agree. The ASCOM developers have apparently decided that they know what is best for us, the users. That is why I have decided to give up on ASCOM ...
Well, you have a lot of negative things to say about the process some of us are going through here, which is _specifically_ to identify what users need and...
Tim, You are ONE of the folks that I have NO problem with whatsoever. There is ONE individual that I DO have "issue" with. I have sent that person a DIRECT...
Bob, No hard feelings. This is an intense discussion. That can cause tension and discomfort. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone who is following the threads is...
I am both a user and a developer but I develop products for the market place and not the open-source community, that's why my drivers are not published. I...
I had to jump in here! The only advice I have to give as a user is that the programmers need to keep things as simple as possible. In other words keep it...
I will try the UAC trick. Did you use this Beta2 Helper package? I am thinking that is not for 4.1, but for some other Beta version (that I can't locate). ...
So how is it that people tend to be more abusive and critical of software that they get FOR FREE from a bunch of developers working either in their spare time...
Chris, I DO understand - BELIEVE me! I have participated in REAL Standards Development! I dealt with this type of pain at NIST for Data Communications...
Louis, First - I DO indeed give grief to those whom software I *pay* for when it does NOT do what it is supposed to do. I took the effort/time and software to...
Hi Bob, The story below is exactly the kind of thing that we did not get quite right with MoveAxis. Its clear that the user need is "move till I say stop at a...
... I'd be very interested to know if the GPS driver (which is an Autostar II driver as well) also has a problem? ... Hi Dick, Indeed the MgDttt commands are...
Hi Andrew, ... I just looked through the code and see that there are many places where latitude comes into play (and therefore testing is appropriate), but ...
Hi dick, ... Pipe itself never intentionally times out. I think Ajai's RS232 search algorithm is a good idea in general, but it takes a long long time. I ...
Hi, I think I see a consensus on having separate interfaces. Good, that's one variable down. However we are not aligned on how to handle cross interface...
... That's total nonsense. I so think some of the hardware manufacturers in this market do require some help and/or education to realize the benefits of ...
OK, I removed and reinstalled the ASCOM package (4.1). I turned off the UAC. Nice, to stop that annoying Vista complaining. I did NOT install the Beta2 helper...
... Can we have both? Telescope.PEC will inherit the Connected state of the Telescope object but the PEC can also be implemented and connected to separately. ...
Gday Jon ... I have spent a LONG time working specifically with the Meade firmware/behaviour for slewing/guiding. I cannot figure out what will happen for some...
