    Hi,
    I have bought a new computer and am trying to connect my 10 yr old SBIG8300m STT to it but I can't find/remember getting a software disc as I bought it second hand and can't find online software for it. On my old computer I had a program called SBIGDriverChecker64 that I believe downloaded programs to run the camera and filter wheel. I installed it and updated (first photo shows the update). I also found the archive sbig site and downloaded a sbigudrv.dll file that said was for STT models but when I checked the driver checker64 the same program is listed
    Basically when I try to connect to the camera using MaximDl v6 I get an error message (second photo) and am lost.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated ��
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Go here for all the stuff for that camera:
    https://diffractionlimited.com/legacy-product-support/

    Download SBIG Driver Checker 4.05 for Windows:
    https://cdn.diffractionlimited.com/downloads/SetupDriverChecker64.exe
    and if you wish to use CCDOps:
    https://cdn.diffractionlimited.com/downloads/InstOps.exe
    or sign up for a FREE TRIAL of MaxIm DL Pro:
    https://diffractionlimited.com/maxim-dl/

    You'll probably also need to turn on Microsoft extra updates for Windows, run Windows Update a few times. See this article:
    https://forum.diffractionlimited.com/threads/windows-11-extra-updates.9640/

    You might also need the Windows Runtime 2010. See this article:

    Windows Power Management:

    Good luck!
