Hi I had the same problem sent question to Singer and this was their reply

"Do you have Vista 32-bit or Vista 64-bits? Unfortunately the CE-100/200 machine will not be compatible with either Vista 64-bit systems or the newest Windows 7 computers. The CE-100/200 will only be compatible with Windows 98 through Vista 32-bit operating systems.

This appears to be a hardware issue and not something that we will be able to create a patch to correct. Drivers necessary for 64-bit operating systems are not compatible with the CE-100/200 machines." so I guess we are SOL

Newtosinger, you got a very strange answer. Updates with 64bit Vista/XP and Windows 7 platforms support will be released for all Futura models, just due to higher demand updates for newer machine models are released first. So far updates exist for models ce150/250/350 and ses1000/2000. In a few days will be released an update for ce100/200 that use software 2.5.0.0-2.5.0.2. After that will be released an update for older software versions Futura 1.0.0.x (ce100) and 2.0.0.x (ce200/200E)

Futura ce200 is not compatible with Vista 64. I just spoke to Singer and they said I have to buy a $99.00 upgrade for it to work.This is after I spent 8 hours trying to install the software doing research and trying to install the patch. It would have been nice to know this before I purchased the machine!

It is very important that you turn the machine on first, before trying the software!!
Try reinstalling everything.

I have windows xp with service pack 3. I installed futura software with no problem. When I go into design browser and try to open a document to send to the machine to sew it says "document failed to open"

Make sure your software is updated (Main menu->Help->Live Update) You should get a message "No new updates".

Make sure software supports design format your are trying to open (List of supported formats you will find in the manual).

If your software has the latest version and you are getting this error trying to open a design from older Futura version (extension .fhe), send it to Singer to check it for corruption.

Singer Futura 250 under XP - embroidery unit won't move

HI,
The machine has to be leveled. What I mean is that the embroidery part has to be level so the conector can send the information to the machine. Turn on the machine, open the software at the computer and try to pull the embroidery arm a little up (very carefully) if the hoop moves and the machine beeps it means that the computer is comunicating with the machine. Try to put something under the machine to level it.

Singer Futura CE100 Connect Error. Check that USB cable is connected and power switch is turned on.

I received an email back from Singer stating that it is not possible at this time to load the Futura software on a 64-bit system using Vista. I have emailed to ask whether it would load if the OS were XP, but I haven't heard back yet.

They said that they were working on finding a fix for this, but they aren't sure that they will since it's a hardware problem.
