  <description><![CDATA[That all depends on the software.

I know of one dongle that will allow you to run all one companies machines from it. But when the code is changed it can run many, but not all, machines from different companies.

It all depends on what the writers want to protect and what they want to allow.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[quote: That usually translates into the file being done in a recent version of AI. Ask them to save it in V7 or earlier and send it to you as an EPS as well as PDF.

I have been able to open recently made ai files in adobe reader. From there you can save copy as a pdf. It will then import in corel x3.

I opened your pdf in reader and saved copy as a different name as a pdf.
But it still shows corrupt when importing in corelx3. Maybe it is too complex or something to.

Both the original and new pdf copy I made opened in an old version of adobe 9 I have.]]></description>

I didn't even realise the graphics card in my PC had this capability until my wife wandered into my workshop one day and hooked it up.

Yes  look like a geek, and a visiting engineer reckoned I was working in the star ship enterprise. Love It! =:)]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Cadwell,

That is a very interesting TTF problem that you and the others have described. If you could send a saved XOT job that demonstrates the problem I will be happy to look at it and see if there is a quick solution.

Please choose an XOT that contains a line of text that you KNOW was saved at a certain letter height, i.e. 1&#34;, etc., and e-mail that job to tech@xenetech.com. Please include in the e-mail message such details as &#34;the text height was saved at 1&#34; in XGW version x.xx, but now when opened in XGW version x.++ the letter height has changed to 1.19&#34; or .876, etc.

From what I understand in the other posts this text will also engrave at the new incorrect height.

If you send that XOT with the above details I will try to trace the problem down.

I will let everyone else take on the early pains of Vista and take a back seat! perhaps I will try it when Windows Panorama or Horizon  is released as the next version (devil)]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Our woodworking training program is working on moving our engraving services to the next level, and we are looking to learn if anyone is using preflight / job tracking / workflow management software to manage jobs.  

Our enterprise is made up of young adults who are in training and have. overall, entry level skill sets.  More checks and preflight reminders needed than many shops.

Are any mid-sized shops using software to track jobs, assign jobs, or manage workflow.

  <description><![CDATA[Got a free trial with my new Vista PC.
I can't see any improvements (at least for the limited way in which I use Office) but there is a BIG PROBLEM - they have messed all the menus around and it takes ages to find the tools that you need.

So best to stick to the older versions. 
If you are forced into &#34;upgrading&#34;, be prepared for a big hit on your productivity for a few weeks!]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The SummaSketch tablet uses a serial port and even with their software to add to XP it will not work.

Windows ME changed the directory/file name DOS system by adding a '\' after what it returns, blowing all of the older DOS programs out of the water with that change. Setting it for 98 or 95 compatibility does nothing.

Then XP came along and when a DOS call asks for the drive in use it gives the drive and directory. Then when asked for only the directory it gives drive and directory again. Nothing using those calls can work. Again setting for 98 or 95 compatibility does nothing.

My personal opinion is that it is an intended problem to force the program suppliers to buy the latest version of the languages which cost a fortune for the full package.]]></description>
