Installing 3D Embroidery Designer Direct USB Connection Wacom "Sketch" Tablet
Installing 3D Embroidery
I decided to take all the precautions for a successful installation. 1. I shut down my Firewall by clicking on “start, control
panel, security, windows firewall”. 2. Vista has a “user account control”.
I clicked on “start,
settings, control panel , user accounts” and turned
off (unchecked) the “user account control”.
I personally leave this off because I don’t have anyone but
me at my computer so don’t have to worry about anyone making
changes. (This is
not on the XP computer) 3. I closed my antivirus. Mine is on the task bar and I right
clicked and clicked on “Quit”. Yours may say close
or exit. 4. Vista has a “side bar icon” on the taskbar. This
includes the clock on the right side of the screen. I right clicked
on that taskbar icon and shut it down too. If you place your cursor
at each of those icons on the taskbar, a pop up will tell you what
it is. (This is not on the XP) First, download the two drivers that I am directing you to. One
is from Viking and the other is from Aladdin and they are both
for Vista. I found I needed both of them. http://www.emnetsoftware.com/downloads/updates/3DEmbroideryVistaDongleUpdate.exe Then go to this site to get the Aladdin driver. Now once you have those downloaded, insert the 3D Embroidery CD
and let it install and be sure to choose "all machines".
Leave the disk in the computer for now.. Then double click on each of those files to install them. Now, plug in the dongle and see if the computer will recognize
the new device and wait for it to tell you it's okay. Then double click on the 3D desktop icon to open the program. If you still get a dongle message, your disks may be old and didn't
include the 7.25 update. Close 3D, and open up 3D Configure and click on Smart Update.
Download the 7.25 update and the thread database files. The database
file will include the Do It All Hoop. Designer Direct USB Connection
To resolve this you need to turn off Vista's User Account Control:

We have had issues where the Wacom "4D Drawing Kit" Tablet does not work properly, if at all, after installing the 4D Professional System onto a computer with Windows Vista.
When using your Wacom Tablet with Microsoft Vista, turning off the "Press and Hold for right-clicking" makes the pen much nicer to use!
1) Open the Control Panel from your Start Menu and
make sure you are in "Classic View"
2) Double click on "Pen and Input Devices"
3) Under the "Pen Options" tab, select "Press and
hold".
4) Click "Settings..."
5) UNcheck "Enable press and hold for right-clicking"
6) Click "OK"
If you have Microsoft Vista and would like to install Monogram Wizard or Monogram Wizard Plus, you need to download the most current release of the software which is Vista compatible.
