I'm pretty sure it's not a software issue but I might be wrong. I may try and reinstall the D5100 drivers. I'm pretty sure my connection problem is either cable or camera.
Basically I installed the new 1.04 and the first time I ran it the computer and BYN connected fine but it timed out on even a 1 second exposure. I closed the program and after that every try would not connect to the camera. The computer itself is not recognizing the camera itself even though it did before.
I tried to plug the camera in on my old Vista laptop running 1.03 and it would again not recognize the camera at all without BYN running. I tried two USB plugs on the older laptop and three on the newer. I only have two camera to computer cables and both do not connect.
Odd that this had to happen just as I installed the new 1.04 on my newer computer. It did install and ran fine.
This camera might be going bad. The dial knob no longer works preventing any manual use except by BYN, DSLR or Camera Control Pro. Unfortunately with the computer not connecting it's all mute.
Like I said I'm pretty sure this is a cable or camera issue. Unfortunately there is no local dealer for Nikon cables.
So it will be awhile before I can get a replacement.
I'll post updates when the issue is solved one way or the other. Log text attached.
