You need to set up first. It's in Start > eqmod > scripts > eqmod setup. Instructions on what to do are on the eqmod yahoo group pages

EQMOD, being a driver program, is totally at the mercy of client programs that will create and destroy it as they think fit. Regretably many client apps are written in such a way that if connection to the mount is not successful they imediately kill EQMOD prior to creating it again to try again. This is what causes the flashing and unfortunately means you never get the chance to see any diagnostic messages EQMOD may put out to help diagnose the connection failure.

If you experience a 'flashing' EQMOD the best thing to do is use the toolbox application (installed as part of EQMOD) to launch EQMOD. The toolbox will not kill EQMOD if connection fails allowing the diagnostic messages to be read.

Chris.
