Do you mean you can't find the option to cut with the Cat?
If so look for Thyme Graphics under Manufacturers and then your cutter under Cutters

Check to see if your output port has changed, in Signcut/cutter/output device.

Click on the Cutter button
Is your handshake set to Software Xon/Xoff?
Have you got the correct port showing?
Is your baud rate 38400?

Yes that is what I meant.
Are your other settings correct?
You may need to use a USB 2 port
Have you done a factory reset of the cutter?

How do you tell if a 2.0 port or not?

Switch the cutter off.
Hold down the origin button
Switch the cutter on and keep the origin button held down until the LCD screen reads reset.
I don't use a windows 8 computer so don't know, I would imagine it will tell you what ports are what in the manual
