I just got a new laptop with Windows 8. I haven't used my eclips in about 4 months so I bought the upgrade for ecal2. Got that on & now it won't cut. I get a message saying "cutting machine could not be found." I shut it off, unplugged the usb cord, unplugged the machine & nothing.

I clicked on the "Cutter" symbol & for the port it sys, "COM3(Sizzix eclips VCOM)" Is that what it's supposed to be? I have no idea. I was all set to cut out some things for a layout & now nothing!
Any ideas???
Thanks,
Clara
