Thank you. Mz Skeeter. On to a new (somewhat related) problem... the cutter seems to not be lifting the blade high enough when it moves from one cut to another. So if I am cutting the word "THE" it leaves one diagonal cut as the blade travels from the T, to the H, to the E.... The software is now activated... not sure what the issue may be (LaserPointII settings maybe?) or is that part of the software settings?
