Fay,

As an addendum you need to ensure the star moves left to right in K3ccd when you are pressing E & W keys and up and down when you are pressing N & S. The best way to do this is get a star on screen press the cross hair button, move the star to the centre and press the buttons.

When you guide you can swap the axis to correct the type of scope you have.

If this fails download Guide Dog, it works easily, if it works at all :-) and it calibrates for you without the need to put in any numbers or figures.
