I have an eClips2, I am on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

I have eCal installed. Used that to install the driver for eClips2. set up the machine and turned it on. Try loading the mat via eCal - nothing happens. Tried calibrating the laser - clicked the load/unload mat option from there and got the eCal cannot find the machine.

Seems like the drivers are not working - how do I figure out what is wrong?

Thanks. Totally frustrated with all of this ... I was so looking forward to trying out he machine

Does the mat load with just the controller using the cartridge that comes with the eClips (no computer being used).
