    I am considering buying a Brother PE 770 not from a dealer. If I have problems with Vista on my laptop, where do I go to download a patch to correct the problem? Thanks for any help.

    I thought so too, but I went to the website and can't find it. I am probably just being dense. I guess I will try the website again.

    If it uses PED Basic, and I think it does, you shouldn't have any problems with Vista. I use it all the time on my Laptop with no trouble.

    Thanks for the help. If I buy this machine I will definitely buy the PED basic.

    I bought a Pfaff and the instruction manual told me where it was. I did go through the Pfaff site. If it doesn't tell you where to get it Email Brother and they can help you.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did email Brother and, hopefully, will hear back from them.

    I have the same machine and vista on my computer. If you use PED basic then you need to download the driver from the Brother site. You can't use the disc that comes with the PED basic .

    Nevermind. I did find the download for the driver on the Brother website. Now I just have to decide if I want to buy the PE 770 or not!
