My plotter came with a USB / Serial cable, not a normal USB. I am going to go buy a new one that specifies Vista. Hopefully that will take care of it.

SignCut says it works fine with vista, right on the CD. its more the USB cable that has me wondering if thats my problem. will try to keep my progress up to date here. thanks

Ok, I recieved my plotter and at long last my copy of signcut. I am on a laptop so am stuck with the USB/serial cable. I am also running windows vista ultimate. the drivers for the cable are for windows XP and are not digitally signed IE not technically compatible with vista. I have a new copam CP-2500 and for the life of me I cannot get it to cut. I dont believe the computer and plotter are communicating..... is anyone else out there able to make it cut with Vista and the USB cable? Also, with regaurd to signcut, how often does the computer need to be online to "check in"? most of the time I am not anywhere near internet access. is there any way to get a dongle set through US Cutter? and at what price? --- I am a little pissed about this, I dont see why the software needs to check in all the time, once a month or so should be more than enough....... any input would be appriciated, thanks
