The computer needs to download the divice driver which doesn't seem to exist online so it must be in the discontincued software. Without the driver, the software doesn't recognize that there is a machine connected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084479392240981899.post-2620309455019560532012-01-25T09:57:53.542-06:002012-01-25T09:57:53.542-06:00Hi Stephani....I ended up selling the machine beca...Hi Stephani....I ended up selling the machine because I was unable to get the thing to hook up to my computer to do what I really wanted it to do. I contacted Bernina and they said that the "Lite" program that is mentioned in the book is no longer available so I was just kind of stuck with the internal designs. I understand that there are cards floating around that you can buy for it but they are limited to the designs on the cards. You might try Sew for Less.com and see if they have compatible cards. I found a wonderful older lady that just wanted to play with it and is not computer savvy so the machine was perfect for her. Also,I checked Ebay and they are selling for around $200 so you may go that route if you want to sell the machine and find one that works better for you. I ended up purchasing a Janome Memory Craft 11000 from a local sewing store (used) and it is a dream!!! Cost was MUCH, MUCH higher but the options are endless!! Good luck.<br /><br />LisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486471183659646917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084479392240981899.post-63421415386807679552012-01-24T22:00:50.856-06:002012-01-24T22:00:50.856-06:00I bought this today for the $59 price.

I didn't get a card or anything explaining what the internal designs are. And I did some research on the software - looks to be pretty expensive. Have you had any better luck?Stephanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079814129669516990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084479392240981899.post-56683976611399038322012-01-09T13:36:18.590-06:002012-01-09T13:36:18.590-06:00I received one for Christmas and Having the same p...I received one for Christmas and Having the same problem....
