Title: Frozen mouse
Post by: GrandpawB on March 02, 2017, 12:14:23 PM

Could anyone tell me why my mouse freezes up when I start Mach3 on my Windows XP computer? VERY frustrating :(. Only way out is to reboot. Any fixes?

On the XP device manager is the mouse driver working?

Well, I really couldn't tell you because I have no way of checking. it's all frozen and my only option is to reboot.

Can you try a "safe mode"? When she reboots hit the F8 or F12 key and choose safe mode. Then you can go to the device magr to see the drivers status. I dont think its a Mach3 problem

It's worth a try. Thank you. This is a new problem. So it's probably another program interfering?
