odokie 8 Posted July 13, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted July 13, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Thanks, Mary Ann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted July 13, 2013 When seeking a replacement for a laptop that fails to operate or dies, I believe that for vinyl cutting it's best to just get a used one for $60 or so (running XP) and go back to work. Heck, even some of those older laptops have serial ports! Remember, vinyl cutters today are running with 1960's technology (HPGL drivers). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
