Well eventually have got Stellarium to work on my laptop and am now keen to download the telescope server but am totally lost. I have looked at other posts on this and it seems easy but i havent got a clue not very computer literate really any help would be appreciated.

Running Vista basic on the laptop.

Hi peter its 0.10.3

I think 10.3 works without any external plugins. See thread number 26 of this thread http://stargazerslounge.com/primers-tutorials/84630-stellarium-operated-goto-mounts-2.html

I've only looked at 10.3 briefly, but I recall that in the Preferences there's a set of plugins or extras of some sort (e.g., the satellite tracker). I think you need to turn on the telescope control from there, then restart Stellarium

Yup - Go to "Configuration Window (Key F2)" then "Plugins (at the top of the config box)" check the tick box toward the bottom of the box and restart Stellarium 10.3.
