I KNOW THIS ONE..but you need to contact HP on their website and use their online tech support. There is a file that removes this problem. It has to do with the HP installation software and will conflict with various software applications. In your case, the DS installation. Once you get the download, you run it, and it removes that request to use disk 1, etc. Then reinstall your DS and you shouldn't have a problem. Another thing...I am also having problems with my orientation in DS...I hit the "F" key and consistently my design will disappear. Even if it looks oriented correctly, it will sew out incorrectly...argh. Melco told me it was a video card problem because the new V9 of DS uses the GL Application. I upgraded my driver and enabled the GL Application to run and I still have this problem. Also, when I load a design to a machine, the colors don't carry over. It will show the design correctly but will have the color stops for the previous design. I'll be on the phone with tech support later today for this too. Anyone else have issues with the orientation option, the color stop issue, or the redraw button changing size for no reason? I'm running XP Media Center (which is XP Pro on steroids) with plenty of RAM, etc. All drivers updated.
