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.
