which port there are 7... and where will it tell me the driver port
?

It looks like I am about to install my Liyu again as I had some guests over for a week and I stupidly allowed their kids to play with my windows machine.. I hate the Windows operating system as I am a mac user (like night and day, and soooo much simpler to understand).

I need to find a driver, ah - Thanks to Pnt above for making those available.

For now though Lynne - if you have the driver installed try this:

Open Production Manager.
In the left hand window you should see Liyu SC Cut Series @ COM* at the top and under that you should have 'SC Series' (or what ever you have called your cutter).

Select the top entry, the one which ends with @COM* (* being the port it is trying to use).

In the menu at the top of the Production Manager select 'Setup' and then 'Change Device Port' - start at COM1 and go through them (remembering to click 'apply' after each change).

Each time you have changed the port go back to the left hand window (where the devices are shown in the Production Manager) and select the second item down (in my case 'SC Series') then go back to the menu at the top of the PM (Production Manager) - Select 'Setup' and at the bottom click 'Test Cut'.

Hopefully One of the ports will work.

Try that whilst I install my own machine again.

Thats what I am saying - try each one.

ok, it will tell you which port is assigned to the cutter in 'Device Manager' - it's in the list under 'Ports'.

To get to Device Manager:

Start.
COntrol Panel.
System.
Hardware (Tab) and then in that tab select 'Device Manager'.

YOu ned to expand 'Ports (COM&LPT) - see which port the cutter is assigned to there.

ok, mine is working again.

Go into Device Manager - under 'Ports' find 'USB Serial Port' (which should appear if the pc can see the cutter?).

Assign it to Port 3.

Go into PM again and change the port to '3' as described above. its a nightmare I know.

But at the end of the day the port associated with the USB Serial Device in Device manager should be the same as what you have in your Flexi PM.

Woohoo ports changed and the job is a gooden! Thank you very much, greatly appreciated.

Cool, now for a day of cutting and a house full of wall art etc.....

A few business T-shirts completed! Happy bunny, i just need fleix 8 back.
