Been running this for several years and now when I prompt the plotter to cut, it&#8217;s progress stays at 0%, and when I cancel, it says &#8216;write port error.&#8217; I have reinstalled program, reset preferences and device man. says LPT1: is working fine &#8211; a D25 serial port &#8211; only one on computer. The plot production manager is assigned to this port. I cannot uninstall or reinst. the plotter &#8211; it is part of the program and I have never seen this plotter in any other place in my computer except only in vinyl express in cut\/plot mode. Tech support will not help as this is an older program and will not help until I spend $3k to upgrade.
