Hello Doug,
I just purchased the FCUSB2 adapter. I loaded the software for FCUSB2, and gettig they same error that I got loading FCUSB.You changed the ShoestringFCUSB DLL.dll and that solved my problem. Does the samefile for FCUSB2 need to be changed?
You can look at my psot then below.

Re: Error iniitializing the FCUSB2 adapter.
Hmmm, I thought I got the DLLs for all USB products fixed, and it should be included in the FocusPal2 installer. You can download the DLL itself from:
http://store.shoestringastronomy.com/do ... B2_DLL.dll
Let me know it that takes care of the problem.

Re: Error iniitializing the FCUSB2 adapter.
OK, I checked the source code for the DLL and the fix is in there. For good measure, I re-compiled the DLL, FocusPal2, the FocusAPI, and the ASCOM driver. They have been uploaded to our website.
Try un-installing the FCUSB2 software you have, then downloading the latest from our website. Let me know if that works.
If not, are you using XP Service Pack 3? If so, you might try uninstalling Service Pack 3. It sounds like this service pack has created trouble with USB HID devices in certain instances, and no one really understands why. This problem is affecting more than just our Shoestring products. See this forum thread for an example:
