There is a folder on your hard drive that contains the last run design. If you go into that folder and delete the file, it will not load on start up. If I was at home, I'd be able to tell you the exact folder. : -----Original Message----- : From: amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx : [mailto:amayausers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of : DLCompton@xxxxxxx : Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 2:27 PM : To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx : Subject: [amayausers] Re: System Shutdown : : To continue.... : I received the new software and installed it on my laptop. : After the system restarted I opened Amaya OS and powered up : the Amaya. The first thing I get is a Maintenance Timer popup : telling me the 100,000,000 Stitch Interval Timer maintenance : is due (I wish I had that many stitches under my belf--in : fact, I've made a mental note to myself to adjust the timers : on my desktop after I use my laptop so as to keep the timer : counts correct). Calling.... : : The tech (mind you a different one, really didn't want to : re-tell my whole story but Chris was at lunch; this one was : not as understanding) had me reset the maintenance : timers....ran the design....same problem. I was told to : uninstall the software and re-install and then re-configure. : : So I did. Note, after I powered up the system, the OS : automatically loaded the last design (is there a setting to : not have this if I don't want it?) Unfortunately before the : trim on the 3rd I, the machine shut down. At least this time : the OS still had my design and I was able to do a manual trim : (before I got a XY not home error). But alas, the thread was : not cut so I trimmed again only to have the thread bar run in : to the needle while it was down...the needle stayed down : instead of returning to head up. I manually put it up under : the maintenance, head timing, head up. : : So I decided to try the design at 1100 (after shutting down : and restarting everything)--only I didn't notice that not : only had the last design reloaded, it started where I left : off (right before the 3rd I trim). At least it didn't shut : down before completing the other 13 Is. I did restart the : design at 850spm and before the 1st I trimmed the Amaya shut : down. So back to calling Melco (hope I can talk to Chris). : : Dorothy : : : :
