Camera Not Detected in SharpCap

I recently set up a new laptop with the latest version of SharpCap.
When I open the Cameras menu, my ASI294-Pro camera does not appear.
However, the same camera is detected normally on my old laptop with the older SharpCap version.
Is there a driver, setting, or compatibility step I might be missing?

Regards.

Hi and welcome

It might be that you need the ASCOM driver. SharpCap uses it.

Hi,

try the ZWO camera driver from https://www.zwoastro.com/software/ (choose 'Desktop Apps' then 'Camera Driver'). Without that installed, you won't see your camera show up in any software on that PC.

cheers,
