Greetings, I'm a newbie and have read through the discussions and tried this and that but still can't get things going. Have a new PCut and the standard Signblazer Elements. When I first followed the install instructions and put the disc into the drive, windows responded with a popup that asked if I would like to load music onto the disc. (there are no files of any sort in que). Closed that popup and connected the cutter via usb. No new hdwe wiz appeared. Have since checked baud rates and many of the suggestions listed in the forum to no avail. Before I embarass myself and hire some 10 yearold to wizz through it, I thought I'd poll the group for similar problems and hopefully a solution. The cutter itself runs up just fine and cuts the little test rectangle. Would appreciate any help.
