I have a laptop which is still running Windows XP dedicated to my (Singer XL6000) embroidery machine, and it runs PSW2.0a just fine. I cannot offer advise on Win10. However, since you were able to install the software, you might want to consider that it may be a >hardware< issue, I had to go through about five different USB/serial adaptors before I found one which would work with the PSW dongle.

Good luck.

After several false starts, I found an ATIVA USB-to-serial adaptor which worked.

Like this one:

I bought mine at Fry's as I recall, but they do not seem to have them right now.

It has a mini CD installation for the drivers.

What embroidery machine does your wife have? I had to contact Singer to get all the correct speed, port, etc. settings, but mine is very stable now. This was all 10+ years ago.

I wish I could help more. I suspect there may be an issue with Windows 10, that is why I have retained my laptop with Windows XP. If your wife's machine and software worked with a previous OS, you may find it necessary to run a computer with that in order for her to use PSW.

At one time, Singer support was very helpful, I don't know if they still maintain a support division for legacy machines.
