Sandra, The only thing I can think of that was a surprise to me was that the stepper for oiling the hook increased substantially. It turned out that there is now a hook type drop-down box that defaulted to coated. I have an uncoated hook. Otherwise, I didn't have any problems with the upgrade when I did what you said. I am running Windows XP Professional.

Just want to make sure I have the procedure right...There are no installation instructions in the new manual, so I'm calling on y'all...I'm not a computer techie, so guidance would be very helpful! I install this over my current software, right? Just put the CD in the CD drive and follow the instructions? I know to turn my Norton Anti-virus program off. Anything else? Sooooooooo looking forward to getting this in and using autoactifeed!
