hello all: I have been trying for several days to get a Taig Mill w/1/4hp motor with 4 servos running to a xylotex controller ver4 up and running. I acquired mill from friend who had for about 1.5yrs used couple times then boxed it up till week ago when i got it.    I have contacted Jeff at Xylotex and he gave me links to some xml files tried them today and i get nothing but a white screen when i start Mach3. drives lock up but no control from desktop(xp 512ram, 32mb video) i have set and reset everything many times and at total loss
someone please help.

Ok you said when you tried with one of the provided xml's you got a white screen and I was presuming that was because the xml has a screenset loaded which you do not have on your computer. If that is the case then you should still see the menus at the top, File, Config etc, do as I mentioned above and you will load the standard screen and should be able to see whats happening.
