Mach4 Install on XP
« on: December 10, 2015, 02:02:55 PM »
Trying to install Mach4 on a windows XP machine. After install, i try to launch Mach4 and get an error stating"Could Not Initialize the Core".

This is a 32bit windows Home XP that i just did a fresh install of OS today.
I havent been keeping up with the development of Mach4 (starting a new chapter) , so does Mach4 Ver 2 work on XP?
Thanks,
Troy

I think those requirements only apply if your are trying to use the legacy Darwin parallel port driver.
