I have to run everything in windows 7 that goes to my plotter in administrator mode right click your software and a menu will appear go down to Run As Administrator

Well just a little update it went wrong again so have sent a tech request in to uscutter see what they say before i order any parts ..

Well after abit more playing.. and god knows how the files i had been using where corrupt, or at least thats how its appearing I've made new files and the problems gone away.. Now the bit that has confused me the most is not only was the .FS files corrupt but if i imported anyof the orignal files into flexi and vectorised them in flexi the problem would reproduce but as soon as I traced Bitmap in Inkscape and saved the images as .eps and used them in flexi the problem doesn't show up.. But i can trace all my other images in flexi without the same problem.. I think I expected the worse when the USB port stopped working Hope this helps someone else at somepoint, and if anythign else happens I will let you all know. Skeeter thanks for all your help and everyone

well i'll have another play tomorrow as its late now but i thought i'd have another play before bed.. loaded a file i've not used for a while and that seems ok... so now i'm think i got corrupt files.. so might do some system checks when up in the morning

everything i put through it

i didn't see page 2 appear lol purchased of ebay new.. not from us cutter and all my setting are correct on both devices (cutter and PC) and in software

yea i did all that

quick question that image above is done with my plotter pen on paper, so if it is static build up has the dmg been done and am i ganan need a part

right.. will look into that

in the UK so 3 pin plug one of which is a earth so unless the plug hasn't got a earth inside machine, yes i'm earthed

Cheaper in the long run to buy an only PC running XP and dedicate it to the plotter. I paid $40 for the PC that runs Flexi and the plotter. sorry missed ur message, i really don't have the room for another machine m8 this one has to run it

tryed signblazer pritty sure thats what did my usb port in .. but can't prove it.. also sorry forgot to mention i have win 7 ultimate and xp mode installed which is what i run my flexi throught .. I've tryed Flexi Signblazer, Make the Cut! they all do strange things when u tell it to cut/plot i'm starting to think it maybe the machine as its run fine on the USB port for about a year I'll keep playing with it but after 2 hours i've lost mt patence

thats whats happenign when i do.. I have to use a USB adapter as i don't own a PC with a serial port

Ok the other day went to use my plotter for some vinyl stickers for my club only to find my plotter wasn't showing up anyway short version the USB appears to have stopped work but works through a serial to usb adapter.. but i can't get it to follow the cut program properly i have flexisign 8.1 and windows 7 and its doing this and it should be closer to this it doesn't always do it which is also weard and it won't do the same thing most of the time it does it on the B in Club I've cheaked all my setting and can't see anything wrong as it had been working befor ei lost the USB.. hope someone has a idea cause i'm at a lost also have tryed other software
