1 How to Install 5D Embroidery Software Turn off User Account Controls 1. Click Windows Start, then select Control Panel 2. In the Search box located at the upper corner of the Control Panel screen, type the words, User Account Control.

Click Change User Account Control Settings 2 4. If you are running the Windows 7 operating system, slide the Notification bar down to Never Notify then close the window with OK. If you are running Windows Vista operating system, select Turn Off User Account Control. Close the Control Panel. Temporarily Disable Virus Protection Software This step varies depending on the antivirus software installed on your computer. Commonly, you will locate the icon for your software (bottom right toolbar of Windows). Click the small up arrow to open the active programs window.

Right-click on the icon for your virus software and choose Disable. The example here shows disabling Avast virus software until the computer is restarted. For additional information about disabling your antivirus, click (This FAQ file is for the 4D Embroidery software, but contains basic information about how to disable several brands of virus protection software.) Most virus software programs re-enable themselves when you reboot your computer, so if you experience problems during the remainder of the installation process, check that the virus software is still disabled. In the future, if you experience problems with the dongle not lighting up or lighting up and then turning off later, your virus protection software may be disabling the dongle. Go into advanced settings inside your virus software and bypass the 5D Embroidery folder on your computer (other hard bypass setting may be required for Norton 360). Note that when you purchase a new computer, even if you have not yet purchased virus protection software, there is probably one preinstalled. Many computers have McAfee or Norton Utilities preinstalled.

You must disable it temporarily. Remember to Enable your software after installing 5D Embroidery software.

Select Next. Connect the dongle and follow the remaining steps to complete the dongle activation. Install Machine Communication Software If Needed If you previously installed 4D Embroidery software on this computer, skip this section. If you have never installed machine communication on this computer, return to the Menu and install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit machine drivers (only one, not both).

If you are unsure whether your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit, follow the instructions at the bottom of this section. Select your Language. A brief window indicates that the driver installation is starting.

The first time you connect your computer to the machine (wait until later), Windows will install the hardware drivers. Make sure to wait until Windows indicates that the hardware installation is complete and that your hardware is ready to use.

If you need to determine your computer operating system and whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit computer, follow these steps: 1. Click Windows Start. Slide the mouse over Computer. Right-click and select Properties. On the Properties window, find the Operating System under Windows edition. On the same window, the System type indicates whether you are running under a 64-bit environment or a 32-bit environment.

On the Background window, you may change the background color and texture if desired. To accept the color and texture, advance to the next screen with Next. If you prefer a different background, click the small arrow adjacent to Color to open the drop-down menu.

Select your preferred color. Use the drop-down arrow next to Background to change to another texture. On the Grid Color window, select Next to accept the default grid color or use the drop-down arrow to choose a different color. Select your preferred theme and colors. On the Enter Real Size Setting window, you will need to change the setting to match your computer screen size.

Every computer is different, so you must measure your own screen. Place a clear metric ruler next to the picture of the ruler on the screen. Measure the distance from the Measure this distance left side of the ruler to the right side of the ruler, to the nearest ½ of a millimeter.

Enter the distance in the box. Most users will find that the distance is between 22.0 millimeters and 30.0 millimeters. Choose Show Measurements in Millimeters and then Next. On the Splitting Options window, choose your preferred options.

If you are not yet familiar with using multi-part hoops, select the default settings. On the Output Format window, select Husqvarna Viking/Pfaff (.vp3) if you have a Viking or Pfaff embroidery machine. Other users may select their preferred output file format.

You can always change a file format in 5D Organizer later or you can select a different file format when you save a design in other 5D software modules. This is only the default setting for saving designs. The preferred format is.vp3 because it saves color information and file notes.

On the Import Thread Range, select the thread brand you use most frequently. You can add thread ranges and select from over 14,000 individual built-in threads later. Again, this is only the default thread range. On the My Thread Ranges window, add thread ranges in Thread Manager if desired or advance to the next screen with Next. In the MyMachines window, select Add to select the embroidery machines you own. First, select the brand of machine you own (the drop-down arrow brings up options).

Then select the machine you own. Choose OK to close the Add Machines window. Do not close the MyMachines window yet. Add another machine by choosing Add again. Follow step 13 to add the Pfaff Creative Vision and then add the Husqvarna/Viking Designer Diamond. (If you previously added one of these machines, don t add two of the same machine).

Even if you don t own both of these machines, adding them to your list of machines will give you many extra motifs (machine stitches you can use inside the embroidery hoop) in the 5D Embroidery program. Once you have added the appropriate machines, advance to the next window with Next. Deselect (take out the check mark) in the Include all hoops box. Since you added the Creative Vision and the Designer Diamond to your machine list, you probably do not need all of the hoops for both machines in your hoop list.
