I know Windows 8.1 is a recent update, but does anyone have any experience with it running the Roland Cutstudio? I see on the Roland support website that they do seem to support Windows 8 at least. Anyone with experience with that either? I have the option to upgrade but don't want to mess with a perfectly operational setup. Input/experience appreciated! Thanks.

If anyone else is curious...
I got this from Roland Tech Support this morning:

"Thank you for emailing Tech Support. At this time we have not done any testing with CutStudio working on Windows 8.1 to confirm if there are any issues. I will bring this question to our Product Manager and we will update you as soon as we can."

Looks like it may be in the works at least.

I upgraded to Win 8.1 a day or two after it released and found that when I would send a file to CutStudio, the origin point was in the top left and it wouldn't see my GX-24. I called Roland's support line and talked to a rep there. They told me that there wasn't currently a driver for 8.1 but that it was in development. I asked about a timeframe and all they told me was that it could take up to 3 month's. Ugh!!! That's not what I wanted to hear. Had I known that, I seriously would have considered holding off on the upgrade. I had the Win 8 driver installed but I wasn't able to use it in 8.1. If anyone here see's the new 8.1 driver available or find's that the Win 8 Driver works, I'd be interested to know. I'm checking the Roland Driver page for the GX-24 on a regular bases. I'm currently running CorelDraw X6 with a the CutStudio Plugin (My Win 8.1 is running in Parallels 9 on a Mac running OSX Mavericks). For now my only workaround is to transfer the files to a Win 7 PC via dropbox to cut from. The new driver can't come soon enough.

I emailed Roland earlier today and asked for a status and received a reply with a link to the updated driver for Win 8.1. I just ran it and am back up and running. Hope it's helpful for anyone looking for an updated driver. The Win 8 Ver 1.10 is the version that works with Win 8.1.

Thought the link would be a life saver but when trying to install the drive it give me an error trying to find the INF file in TMP directory. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Anyone find a work around or an update?

I've installed the drivers from different places including the link above and NOTHING. No GX 24 listed anywhere. I'm getting frustrated and still saddened that I've had to replace my old PC and use this stupid Windows 8.1 in the first place

You want to make sure that you extract the Zip file before you run the setup.

Call Roland DGA, they set it up for me through Team Viewer and it only took about 5 minutes, and I was cutting right away.

Le envié un correo electrónico a Roland hoy y le pedí un estado y recibí una respuesta con un enlace al controlador actualizado para Win 8.1. Lo acabo de ejecutar y estoy de vuelta en funcionamiento. Espero que sea útil para cualquiera que busque un controlador actualizado. Win 8 Ver 1.10 es la versión que funciona con Win 8.1.
