    The camera wasn't used 2 years, before worked normally, now in case of connection periodically there is a "shuttle error", and the image from the camera is distorted. the photo for an example is 100 seconds of dark

    That looks like more than a shutter error :-(
    Send me an email at bill@sbig.com and I'll give you instructions on sending it in.

    all night long tried to revitalize the camera and it turned out - installed again OS and - it became even worse than the driver on Delle's notebook, it was necessary to take old asus k40in, to set winxp32, again drivers - and then everything earned... But "shuttle error" periodically jumps, it as that can be corrected or already the age of the camera has an effect?

    here today's 100 seconds dark shot. One more small question - what can be caused a flare on the left side of a shot?

    Looks normal. Cool the chip and subtract a dark, and you'll get a decent image.
