desperate help need with PHD Guiding

i really don`t know what i`ve done wrong but had spent almost 5 hours wasted on those clear skies last night trying to get PHD to guide properly,

almost went out the door, i`m using the zwo asi 120 camera and all had been working well with no problems, i visited the zwo website looking at the new asi120 s version and found driver updates, firmware updates and so on so installed them, camera seemed to work ok with no problems,

then last night went out and tried to start guiding, i selected the ASI camera ascom driver and it seemed to calibrate on a selected star but as soon as it started to guide the RA (blue line) was up and down like a yo yo and the DEC (red line) hardly moved at all along the graph. i tried a 2 minute sub and it was awful with star trail.

any ideas or settings i missed or need to implement ? i`ve tried everything i can think of from reinstalling Phd 2 and Phd 1 to windows system restore with no luck, don`t want to miss another night and i can`t settle until it`s fixed.

any help gratefully received.

The firmware update was only for computers that needed it, some PCs with USB3, some old PCs and Macs.

Try changing back to the old firmware.

Also did you ensure to select the correct firmware for your camera (MM or MC)?
