[sac-forum] Re: Meade DSI CD- Bad

Thanks Gene, but that is just a upgrade, not the full version of the CD.
According to Meade you have to have the full CD to install the camera, and
of course they will not supply a new one. Got off the phone about 3 hours
ago with Meade.  They said get a new one from the dealer.  The dealer is
checking into it.  But in the mean time, no imaging.  My son has a ETX125
that he wanted to use the camera with.  We have an older AutoStar Suite that
we undated with the software you suggested, but even though it opens all the
DSI menu, no camera is found because that update software does not include
the drivers needed for XP.

Hi Tom,

This evidently happens often with the Meade distribution CDs packaged 
with the cameras.  Some folks have reported success in >copying< or 
duplicataing the whole set of files (the whole disk) to another CD...  
(This info from the Mead_DSI yahoo group....)  Evidently the disks are 
poorly created....

Just go to the Meade web pages and download the latest version of the 
software...
http://www.meade.com/dsi/index.html
Also available at the Meade 4M Community web pages.  That's where Meade 
is posting the DSI software updates.... (You gotta "sign in" and "become 
a member" in order to get the downloads....)
http://www.meade4m.com/
And also, you will want to start reading the posts on the Meade_DSI 
yahoo group... Lots of good explanations on what can and will "go wrong" 
and how to fix it!

Drop me another line if you run out of options....

Cheers,
Gene
