Backyard Nikon not working with my D80

[Tcjs2480]

Hello, I am trying to connect my Nikon D80 to backyard Nikon, without any luck. It works fine with my D7200, and I made sure I was using Vista SP2. 

Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks

There is no fix...According to the list of supported cameras, the D80 won't work with BYN.

The D80 is not supported because the SDK for this older model reached end-of-life with Windows Vista.

This said, it may connect if you start BYN in Vista SP2 compatibility mode.

However, even if it does connect, the D80 does not have live view, can't do bulb over USB, and I'm not sure it has a serial cable port for bulb.  Use and test at your own risk knowing it may simply not work at all. 

Regards.
