Why don't you? I think I'm the only one; oh, wait. There were three or four others out in AdminBecky's STICKY. It's hard to know where anyone is, because there's only a few of us! LOL!!

Have you had time to play in it, Scrapalette? Some of us have been trying to figure things out, but we wondered where everyone else was hiding.

I agree - it has gotten very boring. There have been few changes that I can see - still can't cut - so I've kinda gotten tired of just designing projects.

I've played in Craft Room some but not as much as I want! Too many other things to take care of IRL! Drool

Anyone that can't cut should call Circle Support and see if they can give you the link. The "cut" version came out right before the Stampede (March 18ish or so).

Debbie - I see you posted several hours ago. I don't know anything about the IMAGINE, but I don't think you can use the Imagine, as yet, in CCR. Furthermore, none of the Imagine cartridges are listed in the cartridges being available to the Beta Testers.

Do you have an Expression? Also, are you using the operating system WINDOWS XP? While some other operating systems may have been added by now, when I first downloaded my software for CCR, they were only allowing WINDOWS XP users to enter the CCR until they see how that goes. Again, they may have added more by now, but I don't know if they have. If you have already been in it to play around, they must have added other capabilities (the Imagine).

Sometimes, PC/CCR website is "down", in which case you may not be able to get in to the site. Just wait a while and try again, later. I was able to get in it a few minutes ago; it's 9:06 CDT. Again, you won't be able to do anything in any of the cartridges not listed in the library in CCR; I believe you need to go in and check off all the cartridges you do have to allow them to work, also. BUT, they have to have it listed there in the first place. They don't have all of the cartridges entered, as yet.

CAN ANYONE ELSE GIVE SOME PERSPECTIVE HERE, for Debbie AND/OR refute anything I said here. I may be wrong on some of this.

I agree with Scrapalette:

ANYONE WHO CAN'T CUT should call and ask for help. I couldn't CUT with my first download. When I called PC, I was helped right away and given another download. I don't know why the first one didn't "take", but it didn't.

Good luck. The number to call is 1-877-7CRICUT! Tell them you are a BETA TESTER (if, in fact, you are) for CCR and you need help from technical support.

Do you have the Imagine listed as your Default Device? You should be able to design with the Imagine carts.

Is that the knife that is at the top of the cutting mat at the 6" mark? If it is, that just indicates that the cricut can't cut past that point. (There will also be a yellow shaded line right around the mat).

The Cut icon you want is over on the right side of the mat and is green.

Darci - I made a post a few posts before yours and I don't know if you saw it. PC made it very clear from the beginning not EVERYONE would be asked to be BETA TESTERS. I'm sorry for those of you who were not asked. I have not been asked to do a lot of things in my life, either, so I was surprised that I did get to be a part of this particular venture.

Here's what I mentioned above; perhaps some of you are supposed to be able to CUT. This is the step I took when I couldn't CUT.

ANYONE WHO CAN'T CUT should call and ask for help. I couldn't CUT with my first download. When I called PC, I was helped right away and given another download. I don't know why the first one didn't "take", but it didn't.

Good luck. The number to call is 1-877-7CRICUT! Tell them you are a BETA TESTER (if, in fact, you are) for CCR and you need help from technical support.

If you received the invitation in the mail to BETA TEST (it was only sent out to so many people for the reason PC did not want to overload the system and they will probably include people in as they can and it may be happening. I have no way of knowing).

I find it frustrating that some of the others who have more authority to answer some of your queries don't come on and give the courtesy of at least giving an answer.

Hi Scrapalette, I was having a problem a few days ago and you asked me if I have my Imagine as a default and my answer is yes but when I try to play in the craftroom with the imagine carts all I get is a service error I guess I will have to call tomorrow and see if they can help. Thank you for your reply Debbie

I'm here! I must have overlooked the message in my email and while cleaning out my inbox this morning, I found it. Just downloaded and started to design. I'm not sure it seems much different than Design Studio. Are there any major differences?

EDITED TO INCLUDE:
While working with the Imagine selected as my machine, the program was SOOOOOOOO slow. Also, where are the patterns/colors for the Imagine carts? I didn't see those. I just switched to a new design and selected the Expression as my machine and what a difference! Woo hoo! Much faster. I am also now seeing how I prefer this program over my DS program. Oh, and I JUST FOUND the Imagine colors and patterns! HOW EXCITING! I guess I should go continue to design. The more I do, the more I learn, the more I LIKE IT!
