The only problem I have with SCAL2 is if you hold the mouse on something, either to move it or adjust size for more than a few seconds, it freezes, but at least it has the decency to go back to the same screen when you open it back up.

I'm using Vista- the only problem is when I go to save a file it takes forever for the save as screen to come up.

Did you update your firmware? If no, you need to do that first. See SCAL directions on how to do this. NOTE: SCAL seems to work with only x.x firmwares. If your machine shows a firmware x.xx, it might not work. SCAL should be releasing an update soon to correct this.

Do you have the USB drivers installed. Download the ones that SCAL has at the site and install them manually. Make sure your Cricut is plugged into the computer and turned on when you do this. You will be updating the USB Serial Port! This seems to be very important if you have other USB ports etc with drivers installed.

Do you have a Cricut Cartridge in the machine. If no, put one in. Any one.

Do not have any other software running upfront or in the background. SCAL doesn't like any other programs to be running that use USB ports. Cell phones and scanner software have interfered with SCAL. There may be others.

Vista Users, are you running in XP mode? RIGHT click on the SCAL software icon on your desktop and Click the compatibility tab and check the XP box.
