Just hoping to bump this up to be seen once more after the holidays. Thanks.
Sorry I have a Mac but use VMware which partitions to normal windows where I keep my embroidery programs. Works well for me.
I have a Mac and use Parallels to run Windows on my Mac. I also use Stitch Buddy on my Mac to view my pes files which works great! You can download a free demo from the apple download page on the apple site. It works better than any windows application. But, it doesn't digitize, it is only a view, but a great viewer. Good luck.
Stitch Buddy lets you see your pes files right in your viewers. It is well worth the low cost to have it. Very, very useful. Is use PE Design5 on Windows through Parallels on my Mac, which works well.
