Thanks

The first thing I thought of was taking the doors off, but the machine is the exact width of the door frame so the doors wouldn't make a difference.
The reason for the partition is I got a new computer and it is preinstalled with Vista. My printer, my scanner, and even my optical mouse and lcd monitor will not run properly.
I was thinking that if I partitioned it out and put XP on the partition, then I could run my engraver and such off of the XP side and do everything else off of the Vista side, but I am seeing now that that won't work. It sucks though that Vista is so non user friendly.

Franklin,
There should be a door stop around the jamb. Did you take THAT off?
Can you remove the laser from the base? Turn the laser sideways? Turn the base sideways? Reassemble once in the room?
If not, I have a sawsall that has not seen much action since I started remodling my bathroom ( going on a year)....
Good luck.

Reminds me of the time I bought a new office/computer desk, just to get it home to find out it would not go into our new home office (last child moved out!).
End result, wife got a $5,000 remodel so that I could have my $700 desk! Good trade, I think!

I also just recently bought an Epilog Helix 45 watt. Had to take one door off the hinges but other than that had no problems (had some help from a friend).
My question is... where's your Epilog distributor? Mine came out and installed everything for me and we were engraving in about 15 minutes - using xp, not vista. He would have also helped me bring it into the shop if I needed him to. Needless to say I'm pretty happy with the distributor in my area. Maybe your situation is different.

"From small start-ups to larger organisations" and "we make it easier for companies to manage their business processes." I wonder if that means they will come over from the UK and help move lasers into your house ( I mean place of business)....?

One shouldn't knock anyone's spelling. Take a look what's happening overseas.
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer , ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pas on to oza pepl.
Ja ?
