This is what comes to mind.

When you say control panel is this where you went into the hardware utility and did the test to see if the controller was working.

If so did you close the hardware utility before you tried to start the sequence.

If the hardware utility is open you wont be able to test your sequence.

When using the hardware utility, a comm port was found that would control the hardware. Did you assign this as the default comm port? Did you tell the sequence editor to use the same comm port as the default port? Just cause you were able to use the H.U. to talk to the controller. You have to assign this as the default comm port or you need to define this port within the Seq. Editor.

Hope this helps.

Program your channel config.

Go to tools>channel property grid.

Just a guess, but doubt it is this simple, but maybe...
Did you right click on the LOR light bulb down in your system tray and choose "enable schedule?" I believe only then can you run an actual sequence (but maybe that only applies to shows, not individual sequences). I run a mini-director so not the best source of help on this.

Or perhaps as simple as did you click on "Control Lights" under "Play" in the Sequence Editor?

Make sure you are not using the demo version because it will not control the lights.

Did you set Light-O-Rama Controller as the device type?
