Resolved "No Driver Found" error with STT-8300

Just plugged my STT-8300 with FW8G-STT and AO-8T into my laptop running Windows 7. Surprise! I get a “New Hardware Found” and it tries to download USBT-CAM Engine driver. ending in “No driver found”. What?? Same in Windows 95. I did use the “Driver Checker” on both laptops with the same results. My Windows 10 laptop does not seem to have the problem.

Do you have any suggestions as I have searched the internet for the
driver with no luck. Any clue as to what happened? I am tapped out. I
don’t want anything to surprise me at West Point.

Greetings Adam,
Many thanks for your reply. My fear is that I could run into the same problem with the installation at West Point although they are using the STX-16803 camera. At the moment I am supplying support in an advisory capacity using TeamViewer. Attached is the imaging Train I install on my last trip back. I hesitate to try a firmware upgrade until I resolve my problem just in case. They have a FW8-STX filter wheel but that is for later. They have two STX16803 cameras. http://pknoll.net/astronomy/west_point.htm

I will try as you suggest but I don’t think it will work. Let me know what your schedule is so we can hook up as you suggest.

Thanks Adam,

I am tied up tomorrow. How would 14:00 your time on Wednesday be for you? Also, what do I need for the connection? I just tried using the device manager with no luck upgrading USBT-CAM Engine driver.

I did do a Firmware upgrade on my camera using 64 bit Driver Checker V 4.03 build 3. Camera Serial # 712100231 purchase from OPT.

Thanks again Adam.

Adam,

OK. I am a moron. Both the Windows XP and Windows 7 laptops had the old Driver Checker. I loaded the latest version mentioned on my previous reply. It deleted the old drivers, loaded the new ones and all is well now. I claim "Senior Moment". That is my story and I am sticking to it.

Thanks for your prompt replies Adam.
