EEK08, i take my hat of to you!! i too am new to all of this and have just purchased the same cutter from ebay.
I am now on the verge of boxing it back up and selling it on, i cant get the computer to talk to the cutter.
I have managed to download the drivers and now a variety of software that is compatible with the cutter, but it still will not recieve anything from anywhere.
Can it really be so hard to create something????
