What was included allows me to move the camera verticaly and horizontally but no way to align the front of the lens with the nodal point.

The software seemed to be running ok-ish on vista on my laptop after some fiddling around with changing bluetooth stacks. Got home from work, slapped on the camera and it seemed to be working so I drove downtown and setup and everytning that could go wrong pretty well did from that moment.
Is anyine else running Papiwizard under vista? I'm going to try and free up enough space to dualboot to Ubuntu but I'm not sure if that's the problem or not. It ran very slow and just froze randomly or the head would stop moving when it says it is moving and other bizarre issues. Finally I got fed up and was done but before packing I re-ran the same pano in simulation mode and papiwizard was responsive and worked fine(of course the head wasn't moving). *sigh* got me worried about this little investment, I mean you get what you pay for but I'd like something that works at the same time

Vista doesn't have hyperterminal which the website suggests using to see if commands were being sent so I tried with PuTTY on com4/5 which according to the bluetooth control panel were the ports being used for incoming and outgoing. I can't seem to login and use papywizard at the same time.
My big problem with logs is when the head stops I hit the stop button but I'm guessing it is waiting a command from the head before it will truely 'stop' which never happens so I cannot close the shooting window to get access to the log on the main screen.
bt device is on com5 outgoing and com6 incoming btw
