SO this morning I figured I would give it one more try. I got so pieved that I even reformatted the computer and reinstalled Win2000Pro. Well dont know what changed, OS or clean install of AMAYA software but something worked. But now something strange, I have to use all different thread feed settings. But thats not a problem, ITS WORKING.... 45000 stitches without a break, fray, or a missed startup. I almost bet it was the clean install of OS and AMAYA software. I did clean the work history, no change. so I dont know. I really do thank you all for the ideas. *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
