Hi All,

Can anyone help me with the following  problem I have just bought a 120mm Helios refractor and it came with a Meade LPI camera I have tried for the last hour and half to find drivers for it but can't get any to work my laptop reads it as a USB device and I tried ' Update Drivers' but it comes back saying can't find any drivers been on Meade site nothing there I have a copy of Meade Autosuite which is surposed to have the drivers on it but doesn't . My laptop is running Windows 7 Professional.

Cheers

Hi,

It's all old stuff now, but what you after can be downloaded from http://www.meade.com/support/downloads.html 

FYI, even though the camera connects via USB, it does not behave like a 'modern' device and so must be driven using Mead's software only...

The LPI is quite old now and probably not supported by newer os's. I remember there was a hack to get the the LPI working under Vista etc by editing the registry and using a different webcam driver. No guarantees that this will work.

Hi All

You have solved the problem and I thank you, so I will consign it to the bin and not waste anymore time.
