OK, so here's a weird question...

[zuperfluff]

So...

I have this friend who has this vinyl cutter, a pretty good machine.

She recently upgraded from an older PC to a new MBPro, and now that she's trying to install the drivers in the new machine she can't, whether she tried running it in OSX or running paralells.

Does anyone know what she can do and why the old PC running XP can work with it no probs, but when she tried the XP in her new Mac she can't?

She's kind of frustrated and I feel a certain guilt 'cause I was the one suggesting her to change from one to the other.

Help?!?!?!?1

First off, you accidentally double posted.

But anyway, when you install Boot Camp, it should ask you to create a drivers CD.

You did create a bootcamp disc with drivers, right?

[zuperfluff]

hummmm... i don't think she did, though she's trying with the original drivers that came with the machine.

i did double post.... because it said that the first post wasn't on.

ooooops!

Don't worry, I told a moderator that it was a double post and they should be able to close that one shortly.

A macbook pro doesn't come with any windows drivers other than boot camp. What drivers do you mean?

[zuperfluff]

the drivers from the cutter.

[giga Veteran]

Which brand and model? Did you check their site for drivers/software?

[zuperfluff]

roland camm gx-24. did check the website, but with all the plugins and stuff she still can't get it to work. so i figure i'd ask here.

That's the latest version--still won't work? It won't detect it or what? Check Device Manager.

it detects 'something' as a USB controller in parallels. .. but the software for the cutter can't communicate with the cutter...

don't know if it's a parallels thing or what.

[giga Veteran]

It probably is--try vmware fusion or boot camp.

All I can suggest is bootcamp; if it isn't supported in Mac OS X, you'll find that running it through parallels, rather than bootcamp, it still won't be detected. Atleast with bootcamp, its a clean slate and you've got nothing running under Windows which could cause issues.
