    Hi
    I've just updated the driver of my FW5-8300 mounted on the STF8300M and the wheel works flawlessly as before with the former drivers of the CFW9 or FW5-8300 but the problem is now that it seems the new drivers do not remember the name of the filters I change in CCDOps Filter Setup menu.
    In brief: opening the menu Filter in CCDOps I have a default designation of the filters in the position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 respectively, Red, Green, Blue, Clear, Lunar. I need to change those names to Clear, Red, Green, Blue, Halpha (or Clear, SII, OIII, HAlpha, empty) but as soon as I close the setup filter menĂ¹ CCDOps returns the default names
    Just to underline that the new driver does not allow me to choose different options of Filter Wheel than the FW5-STF
    Did someone already face with this unusual issue?

    Can you try right clicking on the program icon and run as administrator.
    Then enter the filter names and restart the program. I think it might be a registry issue with new copies of Windows.
    See if that helps.

    Hi Tim
    many many many thanks
    the problem was in the administrator rights, indeed
