Hello.
I am at a new setup (New Computer) and have installed ASCOM ver.6.6 and all the drivers for mounts camera etc... I now need in my small setup.
But when I open the dialog box and want to activate my mount (Skywatcher EQ5) I get this notification.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a solution.

Hello Again.

I followed Nicola's suggestion and the dialog box came up and got the coordinates entered and everything was fine but I wanted to double check and restarted the computer, wanted to try again and then I was back where I was from the start, (the same error message)
I use SGL for imaging but have been thinking for a while about trying N.I.N.A for imaging and here I get this message about my issue
I have searched for time configuration but can't immediately find out about this.
So I'm asking if there are any of you out there who have encountered this problem like I have??
My new computer is Mini PC Intel NUC11TNKi5 and has Windows 11 installed.
