Do you have computers at work? You must have friends with a Desktop computer? Give them the disc and a USB memory stick. That is the long way around the problem, but you can download it online from the Singer Website :>D
This may help. Depending on your version of windows 7 you may be able to run Windows XP as a virtual machine and still user your scanner under XP Mode. You will have to install the XP driver for your scanner on the XP virtual machine running on your Windows 7 computer.
Windows 7 has several built-in tools to help with program compatibility and Windows XP programs should be installed directly on Windows 7.
Windows XP Mode runs many older Windows XP productivity programs
and that are not natively compatible with Windows 7, thus helping

extending the life of existing software.

Hi , This product is not compatible with Windows 7 but it should run under Windows XP . If you are running under XP , I suggest you delete the program , reboot your machine and reinstall the program under Windows XP . If it still fails , you could need to reinstall Win XP or use the recovery disc . Launch the disc , select " install a new version of XP " and choose " repair " when you'll be asked to . Make first sure you have installed SP3 and tested your program with XP fully updated . Best regards , fanaudi .
If a program cannot be run under Windows 7 because of compatibility issues you have to right click on the executable file that will start the application and click Properties.
Select Compatibility tab and select the Windows XP version.
This should work but if it doesn't there is nothing you can do except complain to Sierra to make a fix for it.
It sounds like you are trying to use the software on Windows 7 or Vista. There's a patch at www.Futura-support.com you'll need. On the lefthand side of the screen, click on downloads, then choose CE100/150/250/350, etc, etc. Follow the directions CAREFULLY. Be sure to install ALL Futura software you've already installed and reboot your PC BEFORE starting the new instructions.
If for some reason this still doesn't solve your problem, I've posted a solution that's a bit more involved on the CE100 Problems & Solutions home page for running your machine on Windows Vista/7. Basically, it allows you to run any XP program on Windows Vista or 7 using your old XP software. The Futura patch works for most people, though, so you will hopefully not have to go that route.
I THINK IF U GOT THESE OS ALREADY INSTALLED HAVE U GOT ENOUGH SPACE TO CARRY ON WITH THE INSTALATION ,TRY FORMATTING UR DRIVES AND TRY SEVICE PACK 2 IF AVAILABLE ,WHY DOES HE WANT ANY OTHER IF U GOT 7 ITS THE BEST OUT SO FAR
You may ask your Singer supplier about Futura 2.5, this version of the software supports old machine models ce100/200, contains more features like the software for newer machine models and works under new OS including Windows 7.
You will have to boot of the XP install disk and reformat a FULL NTFS format, first, that will enable you to wipe the drive and install XP. To save an email, or any file to a flash drive, simply copy/paste or drag and drop onto the drive, the drive must be Formatted first, format FAT32. OR when asked for location to save, point it to the flash drive as normally done.
