    I used the SBIGDriverChecker64... When I plug in the 8300, the Hardware Manager shows SBIG USB Camera With Firmware...

    The Checker wont connect to the camera when I try to get the firmware version from the camera... Maxim says it can't initialize the camera. It only gives the option for SBIG Universal... I instlled from the internet CCDOps, and it says no camera can be found...

    This is a new 64bit Win10 laptop... the STi installed fine...

    Help???

    In CCDOPS, check in Misc > Graphics/Comm Setup and check Interface. Make sure it's set for your connection.

    I may not be much more help. That one setting in CCDOPS is all I've ever had to deal with when using USB. It may be a Windows 10 issue, and I have no experience with it. Sorry I can't help anymore than this.

    You said you were trying to use DriverChecker to check the firmware. Have you already installed the drivers?
