I've used XP and a 1000A and Signtools 3 for several years.
I've also gotten excellent support for Andrew at Signtools through
emails. Its all about the drivers and settings and all are available
on Signtools website. I use Corel 10.

You install Corel, then signtools and since you have Corel 8, you may have to install a patch from Signtools website.

Ian, I do not have to add an outline to text. I'm not sure why you
have too.

Ken, I didn't have to add the outline with Signtools, but without it, you do have to- from Corel. I was just covering all bases, seeing that he hadn't got Signtools going.
I haven't used Signtools since I got Win XP, as version 2 doesn't work with XP. I was going to buy the upgrade at the Aussie signshow last May, but at the last minute Andrew wasn't there, and I spent the money on a router instead!

XP is not messed up. If our computer is running right then XP is right.

Your one photo shows a text box and not a vector box. Text boxes will not cut.

Could you try drawing a square - or any shape and see if that cuts?

Don't initialy try to cut text. that can be the next step for you.

Hey Chitoon, you never formally introduced yourself and I am really impressed that many people here have offered you advice and help without really giving us your background in this field so I have been meaning to ask where is Plainfeld, how long have you been doing this, yadda yadda yadda...?

It will give us a better visual on where you are. in respect of your knowledge.

If I read your statement correctly about the serial number. Once
you load signtools on a hard drive and enter the activation code, you can reload signtools as many times as necessary with out the code because the activation code is kept on that hard drive.
