  1. Ugh.  Skeeter that's what I was afraid of. that's why I never upgraded from Windows 8 to 10.  I was afraid something might go wrong.  Now I am getting notifications that my windows 8 will no longer be supported after Jan 10th. I guess I will still be able to use the old computer for SB I just wont want to connect to the internet correct?

    darcshadow. I will for sure try what you suggested! I had no idea I could do that.  

    Thanks to both of you for your help!

  2. So I have installed both drivers mentioned above and the USB options are not showing up.  I am using USB002 on my current computer but isn't an option on the new one. Is it the drivers that adds this? I'm using windows 11 and its way different than my windows 8 

    the first attachment is what I use on my old computer that cuts perfect! the second attachment is what my new computer looks like in the "Output device" 

    Sorry I'm not tec savvy at all!

    Thanks! Mary Ann

  3. Yes I downloaded the Graphtec Driver , I don't know why the new SB that I downloaded on my new laptop doesn't have the same Comm settings as on my old laptop.  I will keep playing around with it. I only do this every 5 to 7 years and struggle every time :( thanks for your help!

    I probably have the Graphtec software but have been using the SBE since the PCut and haven't taken the time to learn a new one. I just love SB.

  4. I have been using SB with my Graphtec CE5000-60 and purchased the newer Graphtec CE6000-60.  Will i need to download a new driver along with changing to the Copam CP-2500 setting?  I set up and made the change to Copam CP-2500 setting but it doesn't do anything.  I cant remember what I did to set up the 5000 years ago.

    Thanks for any help! 


  5. I just wanted to follow up.  I ended up not getting this one, it was a BIN on Ebay for $1,100 or best offer which he told me he would accept $950.00 and I just didn't feel good about it.  We have a free online classified news site here in Utah that I have been watching and found one for $600.  And it works great! :)  I guess its best to go with your gut feeling and just wait it out.

    Thanks for the feedback on my post everyone!

  6. I'm still running WinXP with SBE, and will continue to do so for years to come.

     

    Sorry, I have nothing to contribute regarding a solution to your Windows 8 issue.

    Thanks Slice,

    I needed to get a new laptop, my old one still works but is having issues and I needed a backup.

    My other laptop has Vista and works fine but windows 8 is different.  I am figuring out windows 8 but this issue I can't figure out.  I hope someone will reply :wacko:

    Thanks, Mary Ann


  7. Is anyone running SB on windows 8 and cutting on the Graphtec 5000-60? 

    How did you get it to cut?  I have tried everything. I downloaded the driver from Graphtec.com it says it installed but none of the "Output Device" options work. What cutter option do you use?

    Thanks for any suggestions I have been working on this for awhile and don't know what to do :'(

    Thanks, Mary Ann
