Hi all, I'm having serious issues trying to install the USC LP24 under Windows 7 with a KeySpan and using SignCut Prod Pro. Basically, my machine is locking-up and forcing a hard reboot (not good). Note, I've had all of these items working perfectly fine, but I was getting bad cuts and was trying to upgrade SignCut. That's when my troubles started. Versions: Signcut: Version 1,07. Tried 1.95 and 1.96 (Beta). 1.07 has the 3-point calibration I need, and is the last known-good version. Keyspan: Older known-good working driver. What's happening is that even with the KeySpan on Com 3, I can choose my cutter in SignCut and then attempt to calibrate, and it will mark a cross for me to align with the LP24 laser. Trouble is, anything after that seems to lock-up the machine. My keys (to move the cutter) don't work, whether they're from my PC keyboard, my USB keypad or the cutter itself. Then, it goes into this unresponsive mode and eventually, I am forced to reboot. When I test with the Keyspan util, everything is fine and tests pass (before Signcut is running). Com 3 appears to be free and clear, and 'Idle' before testing. However, trying to calibrate is basically crashing my machine. I don't know if it's the KeySpan (I suspect it is hardware). Should I be using my Keyspan in Windows Serial Mode in SignCut? Or, should I leave that unchecked? I'm assuming Windows Serial Mode allows for dynamic assignment of interrupts instead of being fixed like the olden days. I know this is a weird confuence of potentials, but some of you computer types might be able to offer some insights. Note, 'reinstalling windows' is not an option at this point. Thanks! Spacep0d
