saving to floppy drive in Windows 7

Just upgraded to Windows 7 on my digitizing comptuer to find out that the Embroidery Disc Save As button will no longer work.  It appears that Wilcom knows about this but so far has not offered a solution.  Does anyone have a work-around so that I don't have to go through the 9-step process of saving a file to my desktop and dragging it to my floppy drive file?  Of course going back to Vista is not an option.  Much appreciated.

Running Wilcom e1.5.

  • I found this was a problem with USB floppy drive.

    My new motherboard does not support internal floppy drive, so I had to buy an external USB floppy Drive.

    I use the following steps to save a design to 'A' Drive/USB thumb drive:

    File>save as

    then select floppy drive/thumb drive

    then select file format

    then click save

     

    PITA, I know, but only workaround I have.

    If you are doing Team names, same as above but click options to then select design options

    I have had a support ticket with Wilcom regarding this since around August last year, I think..... so far, I have had no response as to any fix.
