EQMod- Invalid Parameter Error on Connection

[Zakalwe]

Mount:- EQ6

EQDIR:-Hitec Astro

I recently had to reinstall Ascom, and upgraded to the latest version of EQMod at the same time. Now I am having a really annoying error which I can't seem to iron out.

I connect the mount to the laptop using a Hitec Astro EQDir. I then launch the EQASCOM toolbox, and hit Driver Setup which launches the EQASCOM Setup Window. I select the correct COM port and then hit Go to launch EQASCOM Run. I get an "Invalid Parameter" error and then can't shut the EQASCOM window down (hitting the original window throws up another box saying "Retry" or "Switch to". I cannot get of this screen, and it holds focus so it sits on top of any other program. The only way to shift it is to Ctrl-Alt-Delete and kill the process.

If I launch EQASCOM without going through setup it seems to work, but I have no way of changing the COM ports.

In Carte du Ciel, when I launch the Telescope Control panel if I hit the setup button it locks the program.

Any ideas guys and gals? I have removed ASCOM, EQMOD from the laptop and re-installed it countless time and I still get the same error. Everything was working fine until I put the latest version on. Pulling my hair out time!!!

Try using the toolbox application that installs with EQASCOM to delete the ini files. EQASCOM, when it runs (or when the setup screen runs) will then create new ones with defaults assigned.
