My Magic Box won't work with Vista but works great on XP.
Drives me mad and they don't seem to have a remedy for the problem.

don't know what kind of mashine you have but my bernina needed a patch for vista to work, I went and got me a laptop with windows 7 on it before I found that out and my SIL had it put on her's and it worked fine on her's with the patch. it was a free patch from bernina.

I don't feel this strongly about many things but Vista STINKS. I finally couldn't take it anymore and gave my computer to my son, got a laptop with Windows 7.

Your computer needs to down load your printer again. So it can read it. The same might be true with your emb. mechine
