I'm glad you got it running. If you have any computer questions, you are welcome to ask those here also. There are several people who work in IT full-time and do embroidery part-time (including myself) that are on this list. Jeff Banks is also a great help to us all who monitors this list as well. I'm moving this summer and I can't wait to move a 200lb. machine down a flight of stairs (GRIN). Play with the machine and settings before you go into training, that way everything in training isn't new to you. I know people who go to training several weeks after purchasing the machine and are overwhelmed by all the information so it is easier to know some things about the machine before walking into the class. I bought DesignShop last July and going into training this June but have been "playing" with the settings and stuff so it isn't all new to me in class. From: Barbara Hazelrig-Mirsky <mirrig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 08:28:44 -0500 (GMT-05:00) Success! Just for grins (CompUSA doesn't open until 9:00), I installed everything on the new computer. You were right. The Amaya won't work with a USB ethernet. The new computer also just has security, internet, a few embroidery programs and the Amaya on it. Windows XP, 512 Ram and 80GB and a Pentium 4. Thank you so much for you help -- now I can check out the machine and learn how to use it. Maybe then I'll start a small, part-time business and make lovely gifts. I also really want to buy Design Shop Pro, but first I'd better learn to digitize. I didn't have the time before I retired. Again - thank you for your help. If I hadn't been able to get this machine running it would have to wait until we moved to the new house - a chore I dread!
