My embroidery (Singer Quantum XL6000) requires the Windows XP and lower on a computer to acquire additional patterns, will it work with Windows 7?

Several things: You will need to purchase the PSW conversion software to be able to transfer embroidery designs to your sewing machine. Also, you should have received a cable with your XL-6000 that allows it to communicate with your computer. The one that came with my machine has a pin type connector on both ends and it's known as a null serial port connector. I had to purchase another cable because the pin connector would not work with my USB ports on my laptop. I ordered one online and it came with a CD (driver) that you have to load to your computer to make it work. Another thing was that my newer version of Windows (7) would not run the conversion software that came with the sewing machine. There is a feature in Windows 7 that allows you to run software made for previous versions of Windows. Go go Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features>Run software made for previous versions of Windows. Hope this helps.

1. Your downloaded file must be unzipped.
2. The file needs to be saved in the format for your Singer.
3. Join this Singer support site for your Quantum and others. Ask your question there. http://www.futura-support.com/

I suspect it's a format issue. I had troubles getting my Janome to recognize my USB stick(S) Finally after an especially scathing email, they sent me a stick that worked.

Check that the foot is installed correctly. Change the needle in case it is slightly bent.

Go to the singer website
Go to the home page
Go to customer service--click on it--it will show a small menu--click on instruction manual
In the box put the model number (example 6000) & click search
if nothing comes up contact singer customer service

you have to contact the software mfg & ask them if the program is compatible with window 7, I have windows7 on my laptop & it's picky

See solution I suggested 10 seconds ago. Hope it helps. Jimmy

The computer in the sewing machine can only hold so much. It's rally not very big. I expect the particular color block in your design is too "large" to fit in the computer.
If you can break the problem block(s) in half, the problem should stop.

Your machine needs to go into the shop.

Select a Singer dealer and have your purchase information in case this is something that is covered by your warranty.

Singer Co. told me they don't have updates yet for the XL6000

Your USB to serial port should also come with a driver. Check the packaging. You need to install the driver in order for your computer to pick up the adapter.
