iceman 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Ok... got it finally! I have the older Copam with the serial to USB connection. I went out to Radio Shack and bought the USB to Serial cable (I think they only carry one brand) $35. I made sure it had Vista compatibility on the box. Installed the cable and the driver. Updated my signcut to the newest release. Now the important stuff... after installing the driver go to: device manager find the new adaptor under Ports (COM & LPT) there should be your new adaptor listed under this category... in this case mine is called the RadioShack USB to Serial cable right click on it and go to properties.... Under "port settings" change flow control to "hardware" Click advanced and uncheck the "Use FIFO buffers" box Click "ok" and close out of the windows (make note of the comm port that it installed on before closing) Open Sign cut and go to cutter handshake should be set to hardware (rts/CTS) I check rts, cts, and dtr boxes under the device drop down pick the comm port that the usb cable was installed on. leave everything else as default. advanced tab unchecked swap axis and optimize data transfer thats is... i did notice one time I closed x2 that I had to pick the comm port again before i cut... works like a charm...

ff-extreme 6 Posted October 22, 2008 Iceman are you using 32 bit or 64 bit vista? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman 0 Posted October 22, 2008 32 bit... I see know reason for someone to run 64 bit unless you are rendering/animation or dealing with large number crunching... I have seen to many issues with compatibility on 64 bit... you might try my settings though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ff-extreme 6 Posted October 22, 2008 Yea didnt know what i was buying my own fault. you said check settings do you mean I can lower it to 32? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceman 0 Posted October 22, 2008 No what I meant was that if you can get the driver for the USB cable to install under 64bit then try the rest of the settings above and see if it will work. It seems to me that if the driver for the cable works then the rest of the settings should. There is no way to drop a 64bit install down to 32bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
