I purchased the Janome Digitizer Pro,v1.0 and I have the vista program and it does not run this program, how can i get a patch so I can use this program?

No:

I just got an email this morning from Wilcom that suggested that they are working on something for a Mac. "Wilcom Elements 3" If another expense for new software isn't an option I would consider getting a secondary computer.... a PC.

If you can run PC at all... go to a pawn shop and buy one specifically for your embroidery machine. A couple years ago I got a 1 year old PC for my husband for $60 at a local pawn shop. I needed to clean out the former owner's personal pictures and tax info... but I was able to access and restore the factory settings and it runs like new.

Go to Janome USA and look for the learning center.. I saw recently some downloads that may help you. Good luck.

You can use any machine embroidery software brand.

There are many that have free trials and demos. Embird is one brand that is very popular.

You start with Embird Studio and then add other programs as you become more knowledgeable about machine embroidery.

All ME software products run on Windows XP, Vista and some are now compatible with W7.

If you're running Vista, you'll need new drivers for your Janome

Digitizer 2000? Or Digitizer 10000?

There's a BIG difference.

So far, it doesn't seem that Janome's put out an update to Digitizer 2000 for Vista (though they have for Customizer 2000), but they have for Digitizer 10000.

However, XP should be fine with Digitizer. You may have to go into your "Properties" menu for Digitizer and set the compatibility back to say, "Windows 95" though.

To do this, right-click on the software icon for Digitizer on your desktop. On the contextual menu will appear several choices - select "Properties" and then click on the "Compatibility" tab on the Properties dialog box. This is where you change how your computer (essentially) recognizes the application.

You may need to experiment with the options. Try "Windows 95" first ... and if that doesn't work, select and try another.

By the looks of it, no patch is necessary. The only thing it requires to run is administrator privileges. To do this you can do it one of two ways.

Rightclick the quickbooks pro icon.
Goto Properties
Select the tab labeled "Compatibility"
On the bottom of that tab put a check in box captioned "Run this program as an administrator"
Then press Apply and OK.

Now every time you startup this program it will be with administrator privileges.

unfortunatley there is not a patch, sp2 for vista actually has alot of problems, including problems with drivers and software that has been not only messing with boot registry but dhll file and exe files. alot of programs as of right now arent compatible with windows vista. check the software t see if it is compatible.

Try downloading the updates for your software from Janome Global, downloads, software. Version 1 needs patches to make it compatible with XP. The most current Version for the 10000 software is 2.21, and the upgraded program is Digitiser pro/MB , a much more stable and far easier version to work with. The upgrade has to be purchased via a dealer or direct from Janome.

This must be wrong. As long as you have the dongle, and its an original one. Janome should swap it for a new one. You might have to pay for the exchange but it should be aloot cheeper than buying a new.

If not, send me an email on tonje (at) tonje . no and I will give you a good price for a new Digitizer Pro v.2.0

Digitizer 10000 v2.21 might run in compatibility mode on Vista, but there's no gaurantees. Even the latest digitising suite Digitiser Pro/MB is experiencing problems running in Vista 32 and as yet has no real fix (driver) for Vista 64.
