Thanks for testing, didnt think I had ever heard of that being a restriction in the demo but now at least we know for sure

Thanks guys for your help in looking into this.  I can't seem to find the thread about 'reinstalling windows' but I believe it was RICH (my apologies if not) who was helping a client or two.  I read through so many that they all look the same now.

However, I did just find this post.  I will try this and see how things go.

Just to assure you, I did pay for a license.  Brian actually came and helped with the setup of the machine (Thanks again, Brian!).  Also, I said it was a retrofit, but it was more like a brain transplant, just the computer/controls were updated, and original steppers are on machine.

Sorry we couldn't come up with more than what WASN'T causing it

When you do figure it out, please let us know what the problem was.

To try an older Version, what files do I need to save to 'carry over' from one version to the other?  I know there is an xml 'settings' file.  Anything else?

Just received this message from Brian:

"The Backlash is not working with the SS at this time. Greg was here about 2 weeks ago from Warp 9 and I made the code to do back lash for him. So you should have it very soon!
Thanks
Brian"

I forgot to mention that I am using Smoothstepper.  Bill and Hood, I hope I didn't make you chase your tail on a bug you knew about already.

Thanks for help.

One more thing I never thought to ask.  I don't use the Smooth Stepper, but I was aware (from a friend that uses one) that backlash compensation is a problem with it.

Glad you got it figured out, but I guess the only solution now is to remove as much of the physical backlash as you can

Ha ha no probs but would have been able to tell you backlash wasnt working with the SS, Greg should have it done soon though.
