STL11000 / SGP Connection problem

Hi, I has two cameras connected with SGP with one being the ZWO 2600 MM and the other is a SBIG STL11000 CCD camera. I do not have any problems connecting the ZWO Camera. When I come to connect the SBIG CCD, I get the following error:

[Main Thread][NONE] SBIG Error while opening driver: COMMAND_ERR

What can I do to fix this problem? The error appears both on the normal version and the Beta. I have been using an old version successfully of SGP before I subscribed for the latest 4.4 version.

Below please find an excerpt of the log:

Has this machine ever connected to the STL before now? Is it a new machine or a fresh install of SGPro? Are you using 64-bit SGPro? If so, did you install the 64-bit (legacy) SBIG drivers? This here seems like an incompatible driver mismatch to me (32 / 64 bit)
