hi rayw, thanks for the advice but could not get past .ini cutter driver so tried deleting CDAlink\Signlab 9.1 folder,
Summausb.dll
and now i get
data1.cab not found
tried signlab update but said update was not available at this time??
i then noticed the security usb light was not on (orange usb yellow light)i went to help, about signlab, and found this S/N #BS9S0XJPY6KGW, -1 which apparently means it cant find the usb sec/dev......

starting to pull hair out aghhh...

dont think this is playing by the rules....
p.s downloaded driver from summa and did a test cut via summa cutter controlso pc is talking to plotter just signlab being a little sh*t
