The manual that is in the website does not cover driver installation? That is odd.
Try double clicking on the driver. Usually drivers come executable and installs itself. Follow the instructions. If not click Sart, right click my computer, Properties, click hardware, click device manager,
click help, click index, type installing Hardware, plug and play devices.
Some drivers requires restart. Windows will detect a new device before or after restart.

Check the list of devices in the device manager. Make sure it is listed in one of the devices under USB or LPT or other devices. If you don't find it there then it is not installed properly.

I have several plotters that doesn't get installed (like a printer). My software (Flexisign) has the driver built into it but as far as the computer knows there isn't a plotter connected. A lot of the older serial/parallel port plotters are like this.

Those softwares in the CutOk website are compressed files with RAR extension. It requires special un compression software. I have Winace that will do it. You can get a free trial version. One thing I noticed after uncompressing the driver when I clicked on the help file it tells me that I don have the windows version to open the file. I have XP SP3. So not sure if your problem is windows version related.

yeah it could be version related but im using vista but on both xp and vista i set the port to number port 2 but on the hardware list it doesnt show up the only think thats coming up is usb serial i expect the cutter should come up aswell and after connecting the serial to the cutter it should ask me for drivers? when i open master cut i go to cut setup the drop menue is empty???

Let ask this. Does your computer have a serial port? I know newer computers did away with serial and parallel ports. Try connecting directly to serial port instead of going trough Usb adapter. It is a long shut. It may or may not work.
Have you tried asking the person that you bought it from how he did the installation? Maybe he has the files that you need.
