see how to get the dongle compatable with VISTA. After working all afternoon & part of the evening, I am up and running so it CAN be done! I do have the updated version of 3D which is 7.25. As our friend would say...fiesta!!!!

I am glad your 3D is working in Vista. That's a relief, isn't it. I just did not like to fork out a lot of money to upgrade to 4D, although they say the improvements make it worthwhile.
I was sure I installed 3D in Vista - not in XP compatible mode - and remembered I ran into trouble after that. I looked in the 3D files and noticed I downloaded and installed a new driver for the dongle. So I went to the Viking site and there's a huge (300 pages) file on FAQ about 3D which has the following on dongle problems in Vista:
Dongle H013 Error "No dongle attached. Cannot open program" when starting my 3D software on Windows® Vista, even though my dongle is inserted.
After you have installed the 3D Embroidery System software on a Windows® Vista computer, download and save the 3D Embroidery Vista Dongle Update. After saving the file on your computer, double-click the file to install the dongle update.
Note: If the following User Account Control message appears when installing the update: "An unidentified program wants access to your computer", click the 'Allow' option to continue
I must have DLed it there. Too late as a help for you, but maybe others will find it helpful.

A Vista "success" story? Wow, unique!!! FIESTA is right, so glad for you, son in law must be a genius, and you have more patience than I ever would. If I ever have computer problems, I'm just re-installing Windows 2000 from my disks, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji

Please note mops directions below for the dongle update. I am so glad I don't have to buy another program!! SIL took old computer home with him to "play with" & see if he can get the lost data for me. Most of it I can find with time..but the partical alpha are what I can't get! I really didn't get any help from Viking much, but between mops & the Janice Henning site, I was able to regain use of my desk top! Tks to both of those gals!!!
