Awesome!!!!!!!!
Hubby got me EQ6 for Christmas too, but so far have only managed to get partially though lesson 1. You are really a quick study! Hope I can do as well!

I love your first creations... trust me....there WILL be very many more LMBO
Isn't it the best toy for a quilter :D:D:D

Ahhhhh tysvm! My computer died & I had to reload. I was getting that error msg code too but I hadn't had the time to deal w/it. You just saved me a ton of research. Tks!

This error 42 is Vista’s way of asking you for more permission. Here’s what to do:

The short way:

* Hold down your keyboard SHIFT key and Right-click the EQ6 shortcut on your desktop.
* Choose Run As, or Run..., or Run As Administrator from the menu.
* Allow this, then continue on with the activation.

The long way:

* Click START > Computer.
* Double-click on your local disk C drive.
* Double-click these folders: Program Files > Electric Quilt Company > EQ6.
* In the opened EQ6 folder you will see two red and white files.
* Right-click on the red and white EQ6 file that is an application file.
* Choose Run as administrator.
* Choose to Allow this and then continue with the activation.

I'm so happy for all of you! I don't have EQ6 yet, but am looking forward to getting it. Our traditions changed this year, too, but with extended and blended families, what can you do but be gracious about it all. Besides, a little change occasionally never killed anyone. All that really matters is that we remember the TRUE meaning of Christmas and that out families are health and happy.

Oooh, this is fun. I bought EQ6 for myself a couple of month ago and had a lot of fun going through the lessons. I am really enjoying hearing your reactions because they are EXACTLY the same.
This holiday season, I started scanning and importing my own fabric. Once through the lessons, keep the instruction book handy because you are sure to want to do something and have to look it up.
I had forgotten about their website, so appreciate the reminder.
