Sign blazer on Windows 10

Recommended Posts

Has anyone successfully used sign blazer on a windows 10 computer. I have to buy a new one and 99% of them have 10. I also have to use a serial to usb cord from my cutter.

It's a legacy application and Win10 will have no trouble running it, but with your serial/USB adapter configuration, there could be some driver glitch.

 

Use this Hybrid install --

P.S. - I would spend $75 and get an older XP computer and dedicate it to the cutter.

(this model has a built-in serial port)

I currently have an xp machine that is on its last legs. I really need a dependable computer to run this. I finally received the new prolific chipset plug and it ran great on a windows 8 system, so if forced to buy ten am hoping for success.

Slice & Dice is that the one with the pretty colored icon? If so I do have that one on the windows 8 machine.

Check out Newegg and Tigerdirect for a reburb laptop with windows 7.   There's one other online store but I can't think of the name. 

 

I've had awesome luck with these.   They're cheap and come with the older OS systems.

So to answer my own question, yes it did work on Windows 10. Havent cut much yet, but it indeed will function.

 

I do have a question though, does anyone know where and how history can be moved. I moved all my files and fonts, but the history seems to be hiding somewhere.

Thanks

There is a folder called CuttingTechnologies, which contains all the SignBlazer stuff, including a HISTORY folder, that contains various points in time.

I just searched and can't find that folder anywhere. I remember seeing it on the xp machine, but this 10 it doesnt appear.
