I had to upgrade my computer--the old one was Windows XP and locking up or not responding. I love the new one with Windows 7 but there is bad news. I have a Vikibng Rose and the reader/writer usb port will not work on the new system. Just talked to Viking and they said there is no fix other than hooking up the old one using a "parallel port ???" and using it that way. I'm not in a position the buy and new embroider/sewing machine. Oh well things could be worse. I'll just have to wait till next year (income tax time) to think about a new one. Thanks for letting me vent!!!!!!!!!!
