I downloaded and installed the drivers you linked to and then I also installed the drivers through SCAL2. When I go to cut through SCAL2 now, the display on the cricut flashes 'USB active' but as soon as the software reaches the 'Checking mat' stage it goes back to displaying 'press key to make cut' or similar message. The SCAL software is then hanging on 'checking mat' and I have to use task manager to get out of it. I would love to have a go at the cutting software if thats ok. I'll give you a pm with my specs if that helps.
