Curiouser and curiouser -- not a single error is produced by the plugin launch, and yet it isn't displayed? It certainly seems to be a much deeper issue than I initially suspected.

A different camera adapter had no better luck? Did it too produce an hs_err file that might be different from the others?

Since you aren't using the Cube, you might try enabling the further debug output, if it's not already turned on: From Micro-Manager, click Tools -> Options, and check Debug Log Enabled. This will produce significantly more output in the Core Log. (I say the absence of a Cube is an advantage in this situation; the laser is queried once per second, and in debug logging mode, the messages become difficult to sift through.) With luck, this might provide more detailed information.

Thank you again,
Luke
