    [SOLVED] Embroidery software keeps crashing

    I agree about the specs. I'm pretty ticked about the whole thing because I built my machine based on those specs. There was no mention of gaming vs graphic video cards, just about how much onboard RAM it needed, which was 4GB. Now the tech is telling me that 2GB is plenty with the right card...

    [SOLVED] Embroidery software keeps crashing

    I also use CorelDraw and PaintShop Pro with no problems. I keep my books in excel with no problem. I browse the internet with no problem. I also have 2 other embroidery softwares that run with no problem, though they are not nearly as advanced. Pulse is by far the most expensive of the 3...

    Question Mac excel file won't open on my PC

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question or even the right forum, but everyone here has always given me sound advice, so this is where I will start.

    Question UPS for commercial embroidery machines.

    I just measured the plugs. 2 of them are about 1.5" diameter. The other plug is the same size as a heavy duty extension cord. Here are the 3 plug I want to make sure fit. 3 plugs I think I should have enough room to fit them if I put the 2 larger plugs on each end and the smaller plug in the...

    Question UPS for commercial embroidery machines.

    I see several refurbished APC SURTA1500RMXL2U On-Line Smart-UPS on ebay. My biggest concern is that there are only 6 outlets and look to be fairly close together. The plugs on my machines are heavy duty, and the plug receptacles on my surge protector have enough spacing to handle having them...

    Question UPS for commercial embroidery machines.

    What do I need to be looking for VA and/or Watts? Can/should this be done with 1 larger UPS 1 or do I need 2 smaller ones? The single head machines pull 150w each for a total of 300w and the 4 head machine pulls 350w. I only run all 3 machines at the same time about 40% or less of the time.

    Question UPS for commercial embroidery machines.

    I have 3 commercial embroidery machines. Two of them draw 150w each and the other one draws 350w. I had a power glitch (power went off for around 5 seconds) yesterday which messed up 4 caps and took me all day today to fix. I decided it was time to invest in UPS to keep this from happening...
