Tom,

Let's add a couple of more issues...after rebooting, the virtual ports I was using disappeared. They were replaced
with two others. These two do not show up in the Windows device manager, nor do they show up in the ASCOM
settings.

Tom, you are overthinking this. You don't have to worry about setting up the AP V2 ASCOM driver. APCC will auto-configure the AP V2 ASCOM driver if you set the options I suggested in my last post.

And BTW, the virtual ports do not stick around through a computer reboot. They are created when you run APCC.

Lastly, please take a look at the help file! Here's a link to the online version of one of the first pages you should read:

Thanks,
