It runs perfectly under win 7 64 but not through the P-port, I'm running a Smooth stepper.

what im getting at is when i do some thing with cut2d and send it to mach3 it can not find it ie mach3, or if i find a gcode on the net that i wont to do but its in inch as i run metric only with win xp i lode it to mach3 then open lazey cam and pull it through with win 7 i can not do it. these are things i would like to work, as going from inside computer to cnc computer to check if things are going to work is a pain. in nz you cant get xp anymore only second hand computers what are some else junk.
