I checked the Baud rates as you suggested (well, I tried each one on the left hand window as I can't access the controller) and also checked the baud rate of the COM port in Windows Device Manager but no luck. Another strange one is if I go to the Channel Control in Show Player, I can control the lights via the "Channel On/ All Channels On" buttons regardless of what the device number is set to, e.g. my controller was definitely set as Device 1, yet I can change the Device number in channel control to, say, 67 and it will still control the lights.

Is this only happening on the Windows 8 laptop? If so, there could be a link between both your issues. I vaguely remember coming across an issue with Windows 8 and RS485 Drivers a long while ago (not with Synchrolight software though). If it is common, it could be down to the RS485 Driver needing to be uninstalled and then reinstalled. on the Windows 8 machine. I can't even tell you where I came across that info and I do remember there was no reason given for it, but the 'cure' apparently worked. The only symptoms I remember was Data being lost, or corrupted. Don't know if this will be of any help, but it might be worth a try.
