Janome has always been the best at keeping their embroidery software usable and up to date with new versions of the Windows operating system. While some sewing machine companies don’t offer the updates, we at think that this is yet another reason to make Janome your choice for both your next embroidery machine and embroidery software.

I had never tried to install Janome MBX on a Windows 8 computer, but apparently it must not have worked, or did so poorly. Janome says, “Windows 8 users need to install a Windows 8 compatible dongle driver before installation of Janome Digitizer V4 software”. We’ve conveniently linked to it right here: We’d love to hear how Janome software is working for you. Leave us a comment below.

Sue, I think you should go to your local dealer. Bring your computer, and have them troubleshoot the problem with Janome over the phone. I've been working with computers long enough to remember the days when things didn't just actually work instantly, and it seems you may have a similar issue.

Since the new Windows 8 driver specifically works with Windows 8, and you are having problems with this O/S, there's probably just something simple that needs to be done, unless your computer itself has problems, and then you would have to clear those up first. Unfortunately, there are too many factors involved, and too many possibilities in regards to things that may be wrong. Even a new computer may not meet the system requirements for your software, so that's a good place to start. Keep in mind that the system requirements on the box are just bare minimums. If you're sure your computer meets the system requirements, then you have to consider the overall health of the computer. Computers that malfunction can have operating system problems, problems with software conflicts, malware, hardware failing, etc, etc, etc. It's extremely difficult to diagnose and solve computer problems in the blog comment section of a website, so I recommend going to see your local Janome dealer.

What’s New In Janome Digitizer MBX v5? Janome’s new Digitizer MBX boasts a brand new interface, clean and easy to use, that will ultimately make your custom embroidery projects come to life! If you are wanting to upgrade to V5 from an earlier version that used the dongle, you insert the dongle when asked to with the installation of V5, but.be aware that the V5 software will burn the dongle so it can no longer be used. If you don't want your dongle to be burnt, then you would have to purchase the full version of V5. I know this because this is what I did.

I ended up buying the FULL version and sold my earlier version with the dongle, and put that money towards the full version. The V5 version allocates you 3 installation codes instead of the dongle. B.gottier -- I have searched everywhere to try to acquire this Janome Upgrade to Digitizer MBX Version 5.0 from MBX/MB/Pro product.

I was only able to find it from a company in the UK (and the price was reasonable) - but they do not ship to the US. I live in Las Vegas and your company is in California. Do you have this product available for purchase? We currently have Janome Digitizer Pro MB version 2.1 and I have contacted Janome and they said the upgrade product will work for us.

Can you help us? Thanks much -- KPyzik.
