Softward disc scratched & recovered????

The CE-150 software update page claims that the version 3.0.1.3 update is compatible with Windows 10. See http://futura-support.com/products/ce-150/software . You will need the original installation CD in an optical disc drive. If your current computer doesn't have a CD or DVD drive, connect an external optical drive. These use a USB port or two - the second port is for power - depending on the model.

I hope this helps. If you don't have the original CD, you'll need to find a copy. I don't know of any trustworthy sources that still have the original disc.

I think that disc won't work anymore. But I also think you don't need to but that program. go to this link below provided by singer.

I hope it will help you

Those scratches usually occur because the needle has deflected and hit it. This happens sometimes, however, sewing slower when going through heavy fabrics, across seams, never pulling on fabric, etc. will help prevent it from occurring. Also, NEVER sew across pins (have you ever had the needle break and the tip fly up into your face? Not a good idea if you value your eyesight!).

If the scratches are minor, they can sometimes be smoothed with very fine sandpaper or emery board. When it gets larger nicks and gouges, it may need to be replaced.

It can't read your disc, it may be damaged or needs to be cleaned. It could also be the wrong disc for the machine. The machine can't recognize it.

Can you not ask the seller for the original?

Make sure you're plugging the USB cable from the machine into a USB port in the BACK of your computer, not one of the front ports or a port on a USB hub. The cable and machine need more power than most of those ports provide, a technical detail that Singer doesn't realize. Good luck!

You need to remove the needle plate and take out the bobbin case. Examine it for any rough spots, scratches or burrs. When you find them, you will need to remove them with an emery stick and then buff it with very fine steel wool. Reinstall the bobbin case and the needle plate. Put the bobbin in the machine so that it turns counter clockwise when you pull the thread. Rethread the top of the machine and change the needle. Hold the needle thread , turn the handwheel and see if the bobbin thread is picked up without snagging anyplace. If it's okay, sew away.

Hi,
Remove your needle plate, and take out the black bobincase. Check the edges on the black bobbincase for scratches or damages. The upper tread should glide smootly around the upper edge of this bobbincase.

If you find any scratches, you may use a very fine sandpaper/grindingpaper (not shure what you call this in english) to remove the scratches.

Do you use any powerful sewing magnets? May have scramble something with those....

If not may be sewing machine version of the "mother board" fried. Time to send it in for repair or replacement if that is the cause - they need to replace a tiny little expensive part to give it back its brain.
