USB Designer 1s use Disk Manager, just like their floppy disk sisters, but it needs to be Disk Manager USB. New USB Des1s came with this program on a CD, and this software was also included free when a floppy disk Des1 was converted to USB. If you bought your D1 USB new, check the disks that came with it - one should be Disk Manager USB. If you purchased the machine second hand, contact the seller and ask for the program. It is a free standing program and you don't need a dongle. Check your 3D software - you might already have what you need. Open 3D, click down arrow for Accessories (far right-hand side) - what does your Disk Manager say? If it says Disk Manager USB you are okay to go.
I am not 100% sure of this, but I think that maybe the last update for 3D software (version 7.25) might have included Disk Manager USB. Go to the Husqvarna website and make sure your 3D is updated to the latest version.
If none of the above helps you, there is always the cheap cost embroidery software alternatives: Embird or Sew What. I believe they can write to Designer 1 USB sticks now.
Have you tried asking your Husqvarna dealer to help you out? They very likely would have the software available. Another place to try might be an online group specializing in Husqvarna embroidery machines e.g. Yahoo Groups. One of the members there might be able to assist you with a spare copy of the software disk. I can understand how frustrating these sorts of things can be. I've owned Husqvarna embroidery machines and software for about 15 years now and have experienced a few problems. However, be assured that other brands are not without their share of problems too. Husqvarna did make using their products somewhat awkward in those early years of embroidery machines, wanting to protect their property from being pirated and having to use the reader/writer and associated software was one of the prices to be paid. Technology has since moved on and these kinds of problems rarely occur these days. That's no comfort to you in your present predicament, I know, but your machine is a quality machine and worth getting it set up so it works for you the way it should. Good luck in sourcing a disk.
Unfortunately, there is no other disk. There is a patch available at www.Futura-support.com to try. If the laptop is actually spitting the disk out rather than saying it can't read it, your disk may be bad, not just scratched. You may need a replacement. See if it can be read by another PC.
Contact the manufacturer of the software. If it is an illegal copy of course you are out of luck. If you have lost your dongle, they would LIKELY jhave you ship your original disk back for a replacement with a matching dongle. I would expect to pay a fee for the lost part.
That software won't work on Vista. I wish I had better news for you but the only way you are going to work with your #1+ will be to either buy the new software or find an old computer with windows 95.
I have not found anywhere to download a replacement, but you can order one. I found one here http://www.sewvacdirect.com/sing-fut001.html. I'm sure you can find them elsewhere if you run a search.
I can give you a key in return for a working ISO (or any other image file) of the 1.0.0.2 AUTOPUNCH software. My disc is defective and Singer wants $100 for another!
If you have theoriginal disk for the software you can load the drivers to your computer. Just insert the disc, close in the install pop up and find the CD/ DVD player in your "My Computer" area. Select the CD/DVD playr, right click on it and choose explore. You should find a folder called drivers, choose the txt files and install them. Alternatively visit the Janome global site, downloads and download the update for your software, install it and it will replace all the drivers automaticaly for you.
