I have a Pfaff 7570 with Windows 7 professional. Windows 7 has a special program that allows you to use programs with windows XP. I have everything installed properly but can not get any communication between the computer and the machine. What can I do? I DO NOT have a VIP suite as this is the older pfaff with PCD WIN software

I can't tell you much or offer any advice but I can tell you with absolute certainty the Windows 7 compatibility programme has never worked for me.

I have stuff I used to use with XP and either it works with 7 or it doesn't and if it doesn't the compatibility programme makes not a jot of difference.

Good luck!

SOURCE: no communication between pfaff 7570 and computer

It sounds like you have it configured properly if you have the little machine and computer appearing on the display screen. I had this problem too in the beginning, file assistant doesn't use the files for the 7570 its only for some of the newer machines, use Vip customize to send the design to the machine from the file drop down menu. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 7570 connection

I have Windows Vista; I also had a similar problem; found out that I could only use the usb port on my computer exclusively for sewing as the driver software seems to conflict;
Also, having said that, go to Pfaff.com & download the free driver upgrade and see if that will get you started good luck deb

SOURCE: Pfaff 7570 connection to new XP laptop

I bought a 25 pin female RS-232 to USB cable from a computer repair store. It works great. You will have to install the software that comes with it so the computer will know that it is a serial port.

SOURCE: connect PfaFF Creative 7570 to a PC

The software you need to connect the Pfaff 7570 to the PC and to create your designs is called PC-Designer version 2.2 from Pfaff. You may be able to find a used copy. The software should come with a dongle (special cable) for connecting the machine to the PC. Make sure you have this piece because it will not work with an ordinary cable. Depending on what type of port you have on the PC to connect to, you may also need an adapter since the dongle has an old style connector on the end going to the PC. If you are going to create your own designs, you will also need a storage card which inserts into the machine that you send the designs to. Pfaff makes one, called the creative card. I have also used a generic card meant for the pfaff; the generic card is less expensive and has a greater capacity. You can find many designs online either free or for sale to send from PC to Pfaff as well.

I have a PFAFF 7570 and replaced my computer with windows 7 and I can't get my program to run.

Windows 7 has changed many functions, one reason why it is gaining wide acceptance. Open your Windows Help and search on the word 'emulation.' That should give you information on how to run older programs or check the Pfaff website for updates. One of those two places should give you an answer to your problem.

I have a 7570 phaff sewing machine and a new windows 7 PC What will I use to transfer my patterns to the machine

Hi franlove
I had the same problem when I upgraded to a laptop with Windows XP. I needed to buy a Keyspan, which connects via the USB on the computer to the machine via the pc connector that comes with the Pfaff 7570. However I had many problems after that, and found that the Keyspan transfer rate had to be slowed down to 2400. Of course 3D is the most recent Pfaff software that the Pfaff 7570 will work with. Anything older is OK.

Hope this helps. I will look up the steps that I went through to slow the transfer speed from the Keyspan if you need me too.

Good Luck

I need a new computer and am wondering if windows 7 will run the old creative software for my 7570? i do know it would not work with vista thank you

If it didn't fly on vista, it will likely not work on 7 either. Fret not, as you can still buy new machines with XP loaded on them. It is a nice, stable operating system that is still sought out by businesses, etc. I would look on newegg.com or tigerdirect.com.
You can also downgrade a windows 7 to XP. If your program didn't run on XP, then you are stuck.

The PCD_WIN program will not load on my computer with windows7.

I found this discussion - http://www.pfaff-talk.net/chatroom/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=8872 that indicates it could be the program is not compatible with W7.

Using an older Windows program may be the answer.

I am keeping an old PC with XP for just that reason.

Search the Yahoo groups for a Pfaff discussion group as they may have more info.

Cannot download patters from a computer that has Windows XP. Sewing machine worked with Windows 95 and 98, but won't with Windows XP.

Sometimes the PC operating system's security will not allow correct installation of software.

You can try to reinstall your software by temporarily turning off the firewall and anti virus programs. Be sure to turn them back on after the installation.

If this does not help, you will need to contact Pfaff support - http://www.pfaffusa.com/4256.html
