    ok.. i've had a cutter for years with the supplied serial cable.. however a friend purchased the same cutter w/o any cables.. so i told him to order a serial null cable.. he ordered one i think it was10ft.. still didnt work.. so i tested it on my cutter.. the cable didnt work.. so as a test i brought my cable over to his house and we hooked it up.. worked fine.. he sent that first cable back and ordered another.. this one was 6ft.. didnt work.. i tested it with mine.. didnt work.. i then suspected maybe the pinouts were different.. so using a ohm tester i started to test mine.. then i tested his brand new one.. pinouts are different.. any ideas? both cables he ordered were DB9 RS232 Serial Null Modem Cables..

    I usually dont do large signs.. i do coroplast signs and small stuff but a friend of mine wants to replace an old weather worn sign for her business and i looked it over and told her i would help her. I stopped and checked out some signs along the road that were vinyl and it appears to be some form of vinyl itself maybe 2-3mm thick not coroplast but it is white. it is screwed onto a wooden back.. i would like to find out what that is and where would be convenient to order or possibly buy at lowes? I need 3 4x8 sheets any info greatly appreciated.

    gm = game master

    2k8 = 2008

    it started way back in the early 80s and in arcades.. then i started my own video game business and everyone would call me "the game master".. i had that nickname since the early 80s so i've had it for a long time.. i just change it on forums when i join.. 2k8 is of course 2008 :thumbsup: and yes i am still a gamer after all these years..  but since our baby was born i haven't played much if at all.. i need to finish mgs4 on ps3.. :thumbsup:

    If you can, attach the zip file in your next reply and I'll change it to a self-extracting executable zip for you.

    hmmmm, dummy here, how do i do that ?:thumbsup:

    it happens with all zip files.

    attach it like you would a photo using the buttons when you reply.

    or you can give us the link where you are downloading those .zip files and we can try to extract them. you would be surprised how many times its the actual zip is just corrupt before you even download it.

    also something else you can try is to do a chkdsk on your hard drive. sometimes your hard drive can get corrupt and everything you download such as .zip files will also be corrupt when you download them. you can do this by just right clicking your hard drive (C:) and goto tools then check for errors. it will more then likely have to restart for the chkdsk to take place..

    there are many free zip programs.. you can always download winzip and install it..  just use the free version it will tell you it has 30 days however it last a lifetime..
