not sure why Singer rep didn't say... or are none these the right for your machine?

That is called the upgrade or compatibility software, and I would recommend that you search on eBay under Singer CE-200.

There is an update to give an x64 driver for the Singer CE-250 that will let you run on an x64. With the sewing machine not connected to the computer, install the software that came with the machine. Click OK at all of the "cannot run x86 build on a 64-bit OS" messages. When it is done, install the software from http://futura-support.com/products/ce-250/software . (The second one is for XP, Vista, and Win7 versions.) Accept the unverified driver (install anyway). After this completes, then connect the sewing machine to the USB port on the computer.

Similar patches exist for the CE-200.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the version number of your software. I know with Husqvarna Viking's 3D Embroidery, there are versions that can be upgraded to work with x64 and versions that are not patchable.

Mine works with Vista. :)
Just install the XP patch (futura-support.com/downloads/patch.htm) and tell Windows 7 to run the software in XP mode.

It depends on your software version. The list of supported formats could be found in the manual, on Futura support site or checked right through the sofware menu (File->Open, File->Save as)

You will need to contact a Singer sewing machine dealer for the software. Make sure it is still compatible with the operating system of your PC.

There is a lot of info at Singer's website dedicated to the Futuras.

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.

I did this about 20 times and my still is not working. I even deleted the Clem drive, uninstalled and reinstalled.

When it dose work the embroidery is very nice, but on the whole --it is junk. But I keep trying.
Good luck. Rmissbrooks

Wow, I finally get to have a solution.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Remove the hoop.
3. CAREFULLY slide the bar on the embroidery unit to the left.
4. CAREFULLY slide the piece where the hoop attaches toward you.
5. Turn on the sewing machine. The machine should take the unit to "standby" with a click.
6. Attach the hoop with the power on.
7. Exit the Futura software.
8. Restart the software.
This "should" fix the problem, however, you may have to repeat this process more than once to get it to "stick".
