Hello newbie here:-) I did the unthinkable and downloaded the Ped Basic CD onto my new Vista Laptop. Needless to say it's not working properly. Brother cheat sheets aren't helping, can anyone help

255050Welcome to cute!!
I had to return mine, even after following the directions on the web site it would work once and then the same problems would arise. I would have to delete and reinstall according to brothers directions. I finally called the site I bought it from and after much complaining and going in circles I was able to return it and up grade to the PE-DESIGN Lite. I hate vista, its nothing but trouble!!
22354Well coming, and have a good time itself! Really, this is a wonderful vice!!
A hug and, flowers to everybody!

2308Welcome to cute you will love it here. I see you have your answer.
24342DO NOT INSTALL CD onto computer with Vista. Take the program off of the computer and go to the Brother site and follow the directions. I did the same thing as you and it didn't work. Follow directions on brother site and you shouldn't have any problem. Just remember that PED Basic can drive you nuts sometimes.

211079Hello newbie! I am a Brother user too and use Ped Basic, had to uninstall 1.0 and download 1.07 from the Brother website and I am on Windows XP I think. Anyway, glad you are here, the other cuties are miracle workers any time you have a problem!
33580Betta money that if somebody on here can't help or point you in the right direction for help, it ain't possible to do it. These ladies are wonderful.
22300Welcome Judy. I'm a Judy also and there is one more I know of for sure. LOL Anyway can't really help a lot but see if there is a phone # on your Ped-Basic book or box and call them if nothing else works. Looks like asterixsew may just have the right answer for ya. Good luck and welcome to Cuties. *4U
4077If I were you, first I would uninstall the program, then go to brother website and download from there. I had vista when I got my PED BASIC and took it to work to let the IT guy there install it. He wrote all over the pkg the cd was in in big bold letters, do not install this on vista, go to website. Mine worked great until the whole computer died...along with all my designs. Luckily I had lots and lots on disk, but had to start over again with the freebies, and although I lost lots of designs, have had the best time backtracking and finding the ones I really liked. Thanks to all the cuties out there, if I remembered a design I used to have but could not remember where I found it, did just like you did, got on here and asked if anyone knew where I found it. They have sent me to the right place every time. Welcome to cute, it is very addictive! You will love it here!

29801Hi and welcome to Cute. I think if you go to the Brother website there is a extra to download. PE Design will work on Vista. Ah the extra is called a patch.
Have just had a look. Try http://welcome.solutions.brother....
