tethered shooting K10D

I'm new to this. I've been reading posts on how to set up my camera to shoot directly to my laptop MAC or Windows (I have parallels in my MAC). I have the transfer mode set to PC and have downloaded both Pentax Remote Assistant and Capture One. But when I plug the USB from my K10D to my laptop, the computer will read my images on the card, but won't allow me to take pictures. Am I missing something?

THX.

I had a few problems to begin with using PRA, I eventually traced the problem to conecting the cable into a USB hub, connecting the cable direct to the PC overcame the problem, used it all the time in the studio till I defected

There may also be a custom setting that has to be set but for the life of me I can't remember

BTW......... PRA is far superior in use than Nikon Control Pro.
