Need Help SUMMACUTD60/WINDOWS10 COMMUNICATION

[selina09]

HELP NEEDED SUMMACUTD60/WINDOWS10 COMMUNICATION
I PURCHASED A NEW COMPUTER DUE TO MICROSOFT 7 NO LONGER BEING SUPPORTED. NOW WITH THE NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10 IT DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH MY SUMMACUT D60 CUTTER. IT WAS "FAILED TO OPEN THE COMMUNICATION PORT" AND "COULD NOT OPEN SUMMA SOCKET CUTTER".. I HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES DOWNLOADED THE NEW DRIVER AND UNINSTALLED IT. NOTHING CHANGES. IT CONTINUES TO WORK ON MY OLD COMPUTER WITH THE USD BUT NOT NEW ONE. THE LIGHT ON THE BACK STAYS LIT ON OLD COMPUTER BUT ON NEW ONE, IT FLASHES AND THEN GOES OFF. ANY HELP WITH GETTING THESE GUYS TO COMMUNICATE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Windows 7 is no longer supported for updates, bugs fixing, but it is still stable OS and you can use it without problem.

I have an old d60 and run it with win10. I just downloaded the new summa drivers and use FlexiStarter 10 as a bridge program with Coreldraw.

Check your firewall and antivirus settings. They often get in the way of sign software and communications with external devices. Usually you can turn them off for a short time for diagnostic purposes, but for long term, you'll want to add an exception to the security software for you sign software.

Good Luck,

This reminds me of around ,2004, I had a new Roland 24.... and they discontinued XP. I had to find old XPs for years, because Roland didn't make drivers for Windows 7.
The machine would work with Vista but it was unstable. I had to suffer trying to find XP used laptops . Total drag. I still kind of upset with Roland over this. My new plotter was a Summa d-75. Fills my needs perfectly.

How are you connecting to your cutter? I connect via network cable (there is a small 5 port gigabit switch between my pc and the cutter). Sometimes I get that message and rebooting the cutter fixes it.

All I've ever done is install the Summa software and drivers and everything works fine. I'm on Windows 10 build version 1903 and just cut some decals tonight.
