As soon as the Cube had been powered-up for a brief while, it was already listed in the Cube Application's "Configure" box. So I just selected it and clicked on "Connect" and presto, the link was established.<br /><br />A small thing, but a nice simplification.<br /><br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237285741024956335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059318635584644192.post-69401850003769860702013-02-04T11:22:22.504-08:002013-02-04T11:22:22.504-08:00That WAS a fast turnaround!

I have to remember to reset the settings after installing the updates. It defaults to 2nd Gen with supports. So, we have to remember to reset that to Original without supports. (I do my best to avoid rafts and supports!)

So I downloaded and installed it.<br /><br />This new version has fixed the requirement that the Cube.exe file be "run as Administrator", at least on my Windows 7 PC.<br /><br />Right after installation it started up without problem when I clicked on the desktop icon.<br /><br />Yay! That was a quick fix/update from the Cube folks.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237285741024956335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059318635584644192.post-47981986964853827812013-01-25T06:35:58.457-08:002013-01-25T06:35:58.457-08:00Hi Mike,
There is nothing at all wrong with your ...Hi Mike,<br /><br />There is nothing at all wrong with your initial observations. Your later observations simply refine it. Sometimes it is more important to alert people that something is up than wait until every facet is understood. That is why you will often see UPDATES on my posts.<br /><br />Actually, seeing the refinements unfold with your testing is quite interesting and a great example of positive troubleshooting. In particular, finding that it might be limited to 64-bit operating systems is a great help... and, perhaps even to the developers!Tom Meekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580494966261788985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059318635584644192.post-35572719944845214442013-01-24T21:29:48.138-08:002013-01-24T21:29:48.138-08:00Sigh...I should collect my thoughts better before ...Sigh...I should collect my thoughts better before doing a post. <br /><br />Anyhow, here's a bit more info about the start-up problem:<br /><br />In my testing I found I could also fix it by setting the Cube.exe to run in Windows XP (SP3) compatibility mode. So I'm guessing anyone running that OS won't ever see the start-up problem.<br /><br />My PC, where it showed up, uses Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237285741024956335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059318635584644192.post-80614527082146530092013-01-24T21:11:33.512-08:002013-01-24T21:11:33.512-08:00I just realized I should clarify the first item I ...I just realized I should clarify the first item I mentioned, the windows 7 Cubify start-up problem: It apparently doesn't happen to everyone. The Cube support folks said it only happens on some customer's computers. So many (or perhaps even most) of you may not even experience that problem. But if you do, you'll know what to do.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237285741024956335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059318635584644192.post-23383515530301283072013-01-24T20:41:43.889-08:002013-01-24T20:41:43.889-08:00As you can see, your experience was important enou...As you can see, your experience was important enough to fold it into the main article as an update!<br /><br />ALL of us thank you!<br /><br /> TomTom Meekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580494966261788985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059318635584644192.post-10570830385976444342013-01-24T20:24:58.613-08:002013-01-24T20:24:58.613-08:00Thanks to Chris for the early heads-up!
I downloa...Thanks to Chris for the early heads-up!<br /><br />I downloaded the new software (ver. 2.0.0) yesterday, and installed it. I did have a couple of problems others may not have, but I'll flag them here anyway.<br /><br />1) After installation, Windows 7 wouldn't run the program, saying the program was having problems. In the end, I figured out that setting the "compatibility" setting for the Cube.exe file to "run as Administrator" fixed that. The Cube support folks told me they already were aware of that, and the next release will fix that.<br /><br />2) If you use WiFi (WPS, at least) to send files to the printer, be aware that after you install the 2.0.0 software, you MUST do a firmware update on the Cube to the 1.09 firmware. Until you do you can still link your PC and the original Cube printer, but file transfers via the "Print" immediately fail, and there's no info regarding why. I've passed that info on to the Cubify support folks also.<br /><br />I've only just gotten those problems out of the way and haven't had time to print more than one quick test file, and won't get back to it for a while soon. So Chris will likely have more to say about how it all works.<br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237285741024956335noreply@blogger.com
