Are you saying that you are running Mach on a PC with Vista OS and all is well?
-
Do tell !!!
Ive played with the demo at work and MAN does it look sweet.
Vista that izz.

yep build 6000 which is vista final release available early on MSDN
only problem i had was a dll which would'nt register due to microsofts funky new file protection system but once that was taken care of all runs fine
however having used vista from beta onwards i will tell you stick with xp Vistas just anew toy its not really geared towards us cnc typesand tobe honest im growing tired of fighting with it whenever i want to install a program
btw anyone know if theres a post for edgecam

Hi:
I think you may be fooling yourself. The driver doesnt load properlyunder all Vista builds Ive seen. If you check the Diags page you will see it says either simulate, or 25000 exaclty , which means its in sim mode. (Now if you can run the drivertest.exe successfully, Id LOVE to hear that! :)

correct art my fault
it runs ok as sim though
should'nt be too much of a problem to fix eh??
-
Darn, you had my hopes up. :), thankis for trying though, tghe experiment is always worthwhile.
When Vista is fully released, Ill likely try taking a run at it, but XP was a miracle, so I wouldnt count on it..
Thanks

hey art it install ok
on the rc2release ihad a dll the wouldnt install at all
i understand theres some issue about about how it controls the xp process well windowsvista lets you run in xp compatibility mode so maybe
in fact back soon when ive tried that
-
