Hopefully, I am in the right spot, but do the comments on this thread also help someone (me) with a Meade 12" LX600? I downloaded the latest Meade.net.Setup.0.7.14.274 WIndows installer. I have been having problems getting my PC to recognize my telescope. I didn't know if I should use the POTH hub, generic hub, or device hub (that didn't work as others have indicated).

It seems like my setup is correct. This is what Device Hub is giving me when I try to connect the telescope:

Too much for me to digest and diagnose the problem. Any ideas?
