Up graded my computer to Windows 7. The tech people inadvertently deleted my PC Designer 2.2 software. The Original 3 1/2" floppy has nothing on it and now I can't use my Machine's embroidery component. I need the software to run my embriodery design. Machine is 11 yrs old and still sewinf perfectly. I need the software!. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Nope. your choices are as follows. 1. have your computer partitioned with Windows 95 and Windows 7 2. buy a second hand computer with the older windows version. 3. Buy the new version of the software.
These 3.5-inch floppy disk drives are never produced by the manufacturer of the device, but by one of a few floppy disk drive manufacturers (usually Sony) and as such, should your disk drive start to fail, you may be able to disassemble the case of the Viking Designer 1, remove the floppy drive, and insert another standard floppy salvaged from a tower-type PC, thus fixing the problem. Since 3.5-in. floppy drives are becoming more and more scarce in modern computers (in favor of CD-RW drives) you may have a obsolete tower computer (remember Windows 98?) in your basement (or your friend's basement/yard sale/flea market/www.Craigslist.org/www.eBay.com) that could supply a useable FDD (floppy disk drive).
If your computor doesn't have a floppy drive, you can buy an external floppy drive that will just plug into one of your USB ports on your computor. You can probably pick one up for about $30.
If you purchased the software after April 1st,2006 then you will be entitled to a free upgrade. If not you might have to purchase the software. Here is a link to the PFAFF software download page. http://www.pfaff.com/global/11283.html

I am pretty sure you can download Disk 100 free from the Husqvarna Viking website. This has all the embroideries that came free with the machine, plus the alphabets (I think!). You can download this direct to your PC or to a set of floppies, depending on what your Designer needs and what support software you have (or have not) got. If you have no Husqvarna software at all, your PC will not be able to read the floppy. It is in .shv format which PCs are unable to read, being an embroidery machine language only. If you are trying to open the faulty disk in your Disk Manager software, I always found it worked better if I didn't put the disk in the floppy drive of the computer until after I had already opened Disk Manager. Hope some of the above is useful to you.
