Most likely because the image you are trying to cut are just that... clipart, either jpg's or gif's. The images must be vectorized and saved as eps format before the cutter will reconize what you want it to cut.

Flexi can only cut vectorized obljects,  so if you are just importing  regular clipart raster images, then they will not cut,  you will have to convert them to vector images in another  software, such as adobe illustrator, corel, or inkscape.

the images on the cd are in the format of AI or eps.  I also downloaded some images from the forum and receive the error " No cuttable object with the current settings"  What settings is it talking about?

You are in the Flexi category,, are you talking about in Flexistarter?  If so, you cannot do that. you can only save as a Flexi file.
