i'm sure this is a issue more people have had.
i had to do a clean install of windows 7 (32bit) because of issue's with visual c++ file missing.
i then installed mach3 again.
before i did i took screenshots of the installed programs in control panel.
there were 2 PCI controllers installed
1: PCI multi-io controller
2: PCIe to peripheral adaptor
i'll add some pics of the screens and the hardware of the pc.
issue 1 (fixed): when i opend mach3 the screen flashed 2 times then a black screen and then windows restarted itself.
i then installed the PCI multi-io controller and this fixed that issue.
issue2: when i run the driver test from the mach3 folder i get the message "no driver sensed installed".
if i look at my drivers i see a "mach3 pulseing engine" and under it "unknown device"
below it under other devices:
- PCI serial port
- PCI simple communications controller
both have a yellow exclamation mark
looking at any of the drivers properties, it says no driver installed.
the pc has a parallel port, and it used to run mach3 fine before the clean install.
here is a link to all the screenshots and pic they are too big to upload here.
