It all works fine now and only cost me $50.00 to have it set up that way.
brilliant idea !!!
I also just bought a new pc because I ran out of space. So, I've designated my old laptop (with Win XP) just for my embroidery designs. I don't have the digitizing programs but that's definitely something to consider down the road.
