Icon 1 posted September 09, 2008 03:40 AM Profile for Rod or Sharon Send New Private Message Edit/Delete Post Reply With Quote Jason, In your first post, you ask.........Please help! Also does anyone experience problems with Design SHop running on a computer with Vista. Visa....not very popular....it does still have it's issues....and yes, other folks do have issues with Visa. Try this....."Right Click" on the 3D icon in the toolbar and uncheck the "Hardware Acelleration" function. I have seen many times where this feature is interferring with DS/OS operations. It has someting to do with the video cards etc.....worth a try....unless you are going to run some highend video games on your computer, this feature is not needed..... If I may make a suggestion.....this is a process of elimination. I would suggest that you load your software in a different computer that is not Vista if at all possible and see if the problems still persist.. Also, make sure that all firewalls and/or virus programs are disabled prior to installing the OS/DS software. Also, Make sure that OS/DS is the LAST programs loaded. Loading other programs such as AI or Corel Draw on top of OS/DS may interfer with it's operation as the registry may be changed/shared, etc...... As far as the trimmers are concerned, this is a complex issue with a great many varibles that can affect it's function. Exit points on the column, stitch lengths, MACHINE LUBRICATION, knife condition, hook timing, Z axis timing, selector/cutter position, trimmer housing position, bobbin tension and the list goes on.....
