Ive tried changing the settings and the laser cutter is still disconnecting.

Ive downloaded the new driver so will try that today.

I tried altering the power settings but the same issue arises. The machine is disconnecting before starting to cut.

Could the firm ware need updating to communicate with windows 8? which is running on a macbook.

The machine works ok with windows 7 on a Dell machine.

I have a Vs3.50 which I am trying to run from a Macbook air running windows 8. There seems to be some sort of intermittent connectivity issue. The machine is disconnecting sometimes immediately after it has initiated. I am wondering if I need to download new firmware for compatibility with windows 8...
