    Thanks for the welcomes. The Y-Axis problem is solved. I was originally using a 25' 12ga. extension chord and Israel (CarveWright Tech) suggested plugging straight to outlet and that fixed it. I am now having problems with the designer software. Every time I try to upload a pattern, at about 1/3 into upload, the program freezes and I have to do a Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out of the program. I also can't access the memory card thru Flash Manager. I am running Window 7 Home Premium and designer 1.186 build 10507. I can do every thing else in the program as long as I don't try to access the memory card. Luckily every thing works great with my laptop so I at least can still get some carving done. I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem may be the USB ports on my desktop since the laptop works great. Thanks again folks and I'm proud to finally be a member of the CarveWright family of owners. Been wanting one for a while now and finally got it.

    Oh, sorry Leo. I didn't realize you were asking someone to do that.

    Leo, Thanks for your reply. I can't even access the card from my desktop computer and besides I don't think it is the card because everything works perfectly when using my laptop. I have a spare card and writer that works/doesn't work the same way with the desktop. As I stated in my previous post I think it is probably a problem with my desktop usb ports since it does work with the laptop. Although I don't understand why the usb would cause the program to freeze (not respond) while uploading unless maybe it is just waiting for a response that it isn't getting thru the faulty port.

    In the phone company where (I am now retired) we used to roll components to shoot trouble. I use that method now, recently proving the cut motor (bad internal connection - now fixed) was the problem e with my older B machine. You have effectively don that. Works on the lap-top but not the desktop - trouble is not the card, the reader, or the software. How old is the desktop. I don't know if the reader requires a 2.0 or higher USB, and may not work with the older 1.0. But you have Win 7, so Your computer must not be that old. Try something else in that USB slot, but that has to be the problem.

    Yeah. I retired from Western Electric (Lucent) and that is SOP for trouble shooting along with divide and conquer. The desktop is about a year old and usb is 2.0. For the most part the ports seem to work with anything else I plug in them. I have even tried switching to the back ports. Windows has been acting weird lately on the desktop, so maybe it's an OS problem. I'll probably never know.

    Geomoo1,
    If you have USB ports both front and rear of the machine try plugging into the opposite one (i.e. if you are plugging into the front... try the rear). I have heard of some folks with this problem that solved it that way.
