Hi! I just installed PCD_WIN v2.0 on my Vista laptop, and using a TARGUS PA075U port replicator I was able to both run the software and connect to the machine.
One has to be careful about a couple of things:
1) Ensure the new hardware runs on your machine. You don't even need drivers. Vista detects the hardware correctly and makes them available.
2) In PCD_WIN, the first thing one should do is configure the software to work with your machine. In my case, I chose the 7570, which is the one I have, and then I had to choose "low" communication speed for it to work.
There's a posting in this section where other serial to USB adaptors are recommended as compatible with Vista, but they are expensive. I have used two TARGUS port replicators, the PA090 and the PA075U, and both work for me, and they only cost about $20.
By the way, both devices gave me a serial port COM4, so set your software to use that com port.
Caveat: You may only find these port replicators at clearance computer/electronics stores or at eBay, since these are older devices. Newer ones may work but may cost more, from this same manufacturer.
Good luck!

Let me guess.... Your laptop does not have a printer port at the back, and using an external Port Replicator does not help, since it does not actually have the required physical port and IRQ the software requires in order to work.
If this is your case, the only available solution would be to install the software on an older laptop that DOES have a printer port and connect it directly to it.
If I remember correctly, I could never connect my 7570 to the laptop with a port replicator for this reason.
Good luck!

I have a 7570 phaff sewing machine and a new windows 7 PC What will I use to transfer my patterns to the machine

Hi franlove
I had the same problem when I upgraded to a laptop with Windows XP. I needed to buy a Keyspan, which connects via the USB on the computer to the machine via the pc connector that comes with the Pfaff 7570. However I had many problems after that, and found that the Keyspan transfer rate had to be slowed down to 2400. Of course 3D is the most recent Pfaff software that the Pfaff 7570 will work with. Anything older is OK.

Hope this helps. I will look up the steps that I went through to slow the transfer speed from the Keyspan if you need me too.

Good Luck

I need a new computer and am wondering if windows 7 will run the old creative software for my 7570? i do know it would not work with vista thank you

If it didn't fly on vista, it will likely not work on 7 either. Fret not, as you can still buy new machines with XP loaded on them. It is a nice, stable operating system that is still sought out by businesses, etc. I would look on newegg.com or tigerdirect.com.
You can also downgrade a windows 7 to XP. If your program didn't run on XP, then you are stuck.

Connect PfaFF Creative 7570 to a PC

The software you need to connect the Pfaff 7570 to the PC and to create your designs is called PC-Designer version 2.2 from Pfaff. You may be able to find a used copy. The software should come with a dongle (special cable) for connecting the machine to the PC. Make sure you have this piece because it will not work with an ordinary cable. Depending on what type of port you have on the PC to connect to, you may also need an adapter since the dongle has an old style connector on the end going to the PC. If you are going to create your own designs, you will also need a storage card which inserts into the machine that you send the designs to. Pfaff makes one, called the creative card. I have also used a generic card meant for the pfaff; the generic card is less expensive and has a greater capacity. You can find many designs online either free or for sale to send from PC to Pfaff as well.

7570 connection

I have Windows Vista; I also had a similar problem; found out that I could only use the usb port on my computer exclusively for sewing as the driver software seems to conflict;
Also, having said that, go to Pfaff.com & download the free driver upgrade and see if that will get you started good luck deb

Pfaff 7570 program

I have somewhere that installation diskette (with the old SW version). If I'm not mistaken it was not included with the sewing machine but sold separately with the embrodery arm that we bought together with it some 10 years ago. Email me to [email protected] if you need more help.

Pfaff 7570 connection to new XP laptop

In this FAQ list (from PFAFF web) you find 100 times the same question and answer:
H402 My new computer does not have any serial COM ports, so how does it communicate with my Pfaff creative 7570?

You will need to obtain a USB Serial Adapter, which adds a serial port to your computer by plugging it into a USB port. Suitable adapters can be obtained from Belkin [http://www.belkin.com] and Keyspan [http://www.keyspan.com].
The following USB Serial Adapters are known to work with the Pfaff creative 7570:
• Belkin F5U103
• Keyspan USA-19QW
Please note that the Belkin F5U109 is listed as working with the Pfaff creative 2140/2144 (FAQ #H405), but it does not work the Pfaff creative 7570.

No communication between pfaff 7570 and computer

It sounds like you have it configured properly if you have the little machine and computer appearing on the display screen. I had this problem too in the beginning, file assistant doesn't use the files for the 7570 its only for some of the newer machines, use Vip customize to send the design to the machine from the file drop down menu. Hope this helps.
