Question

I've been trying to get BYE 3.0.3 to run on my ThinkPad T60 using a Canon Rebel XS. I have a serial cable from HAP astrocables. I thought I had everything working and then I began to get odd results. The camera would disconnect with a message from BYE that I had to have a serial cable connected to use bulb. Other times, when I tried to make a short exposure, the progress wheel would go endlessly and ignore my attempts to abort. Well, I had the serial cable connected through a serial adapter and the com port set to where device manager said the cable was connected. I tried plugging the serial cable into other USB ports (each time Windows would assign it a new com port) with no luck. When I unplug the serial cable, the camera seems to work. I'll attach the last couple of log files. I'm wondering if I could have somehow corrupted BYE.
What's going on? Should I reinstall BYE,and, if so, how? I thought the serial cable was a relatively simple affair; how can I tell if it is working properly?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
