I am running XP, the connection is serial to usb but I never had this problem before. I am also using my Starlightexpress MX916 with STAR 200 with serial to usb. My laptop that I am using only has usb no serial ports. The ccd is using comport 1 and using the ccd port on the LX200. The computer is using comport 5 and the rs232 port on the LX200.
