Mach3 under Vista / I am switching my Mach3 computer to a Vista machine
« on: May 02, 2010, 03:02:26 PM »
Hi,
I added a 3rd party parallel port. It seemed to install correctly. I installed Mach3, with the printer port and all seems well. I ran the Vista Memory Override software in admin mode, all seemed well, except. It didn't tell me to reboot, although I did anyway. I ran the driver test program, and it said I had an excellent pulse rate.
All seems correct, except the steppers won't move, won't budge. Nothing.
Now, I'm doubting whether the parallel port is working. Is there a Mach3 program that tests the parallel port?
Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
