There are so many smart computer savy Cuties out there so I am hoping someone can help me. I have an older Brother machine that requires me to use PED-Basic to transfer my designs from my computer to my machine. When I bought it I was using Windows XP, then I got Windows Vista and the program still worked with that. Now I downloaded the program to Windows 7 and the program is on my computer but it will not copy the design to the card. I get a message that tells me that no card writer is connected. Is there an update available for this software that would allow me to use this with Windows 7? I don't know how to contact Brother about this because they ask for a model # and the problem is not with my sewing machine but with the software on my computer.
When you go to the Brother site and are asked to choose the model #...in the ''choose home machine", just scroll down the list until you get to the softwares. Follow instructions.
uninstall PEDBasic from your computer.
Go to :
Brother-usa.com
support
enter model # 270SE + select home sewing and embroidery
At select a model, scroll down to PEDBASIC
click on PEDbasic update
Choose your system--win7
There you will find FullDriver & software package Ver1.07
You can also find the manual and FAQ's from that page on the left.
