Issues to note

Use only XPMode rather than running the 32 bit app

Virtual PC gives you the option to run the 32 bit XP app directly from the Windows7 Start - Programs menu but

this doesn’t allow you to configure the attach devices easily

Hand Control Panel only

Remember to always launch the “Hand Control Panel.. Alt H” before trying to control your scope

DSI camera plug\unplug

After re-starting the PC then launching XPMode you will probably find that connecting the DSI requires a little

patience.

You need to plug in the camera, select “Attach” unknown device from the USB tab, wait 20-40 seconds then go

back AGAIN to the USB tab to click “Attach” on the now recognised device (“EZ-USB FX2” in my case). The

camera should now function but on occasions I have had to do this action twice over to properly recognise the

camera.

Screen flicker using ASIP

I have suffered flickering blue lines visible in dark areas of the screen particularly when opening Autostar Suite

IP, I found subsequently I had forgotten to install the latest Nvidia drivers.

The moral: Windows 7 is new so keep checking for driver updates.

I hope this walkthrough is of use to you
