Dave you say the driver test stopped working after you loaded the special driver but from my understanding it has never worked for you.
Have you ever seen a line in the window of the driver test?
If you did was it smooth or full of spikes?
If you have just seen the blank screen then for some reason the driver is not functioning correctly or the driver test is not seeing it. If its a case of the test not seeing it you can confirm its working by putting a scope on a Step pin and jog the axis, you should see a pulse, alternatively, if you dont have a scope, you can use a voltmeter on milli volt range and you will see a voltage, the voltage is unimportant but will increase with speed.
Once again it does not matter that the Driver test says Mach2 in the top, it will work with Mach3 it is just Art had never changed the writing in the drivertest namebar.
