I have a cricut mini which worked ok till I upgraded software and now it won't work. Cricuit techies are woprking on an update but goodness knows how long that will take.

When you think we used to just pick up the phone - now we spend hours trawling the net. Still, job done now - back to the crafting!

D...Hi Christine, so sorry you have a sick computer. Don't we have withdrawal symptoms when we can't get to our pc? Oh yes, we DO! On the transfer of your XP data to a new system, I know it works with Win7 (should imagine Win8 will accpet also). I have a pc that XP on it, primarily because of lots of old software that was not compatible with Win7, or I don't want to have to buy a newer version. The 2 pc's will 'talk with each other', so I can move files from one to the other. If you have a backup of your data, it should load onto a new pc ok. Come visit when you can, and know that all of us feel your pain. I'm happy you took some of your limited time on your hubby's pc, to come visit! Good luck, and Win7 is pretty easy to use. I think Win8 is software on newer computers, and I've heard it is pretty user friendly.

I was at the dentist last week and their whole system had 'gone down'; they couldn't do anything, not even make appointments! I hope you get it sorted soon - recently I lost a load of images and digi stamps that I was only storing on a flash drive. They should have been backed up, rather foolishly I just hadn't got around to it...grrr...all gone when the drive 'died'!

so sorry to hear about your computer...Hi Christine,<br />so sorry to hear about your computer. I There should be no prob transferring your data to another computer. The only problem I see is that the new computers have windows 7 or 8 and none of them are as good as the XP one in my opinion.<br />I too have had probs with my mac lately again. It would not go on the internet after Tony installed a new phone as our old had died. As you say blooming computers. I always back up every couple of days on a separate hard drive,<br />next to my computer. I also sore my digi images I have bought on a flash drive too.<br />Hope all goes well with the computer problems.<br />Have a wonderful day.<br />Lots of crafty love.

Don't worry about transferring stuff, if you get Windows 7, XP transfers straight across no problems, at least it did for me! I have found most XP stuff works on Windows 7. Not sure about windows 8 if that's the new one.<br /><br />Good Luck<br /><br />Love & Hugs<br /><br />Jacquie J xxx<br />http://jewelscardcraft.blogspot.co.uk/JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602720429681598496noreply@blogger.com
