Hi

Machine keeps stopping with watchdog triggered, I have read loads of posts saying I can disable the monitor in config, general config but I don not have a gen config tab in config, can someone tell me where it is please, i'm running MACH3

Sorry forgot to say look in config tab at the top of the MACH page, then its the forth command down. Be prepared for it to not solve your problem, it didn't solve mine it was a problem with the electronics. If it doesn't work put them back on.

That's a pretty old version.
The Dog selection is not available on the oldest ones.
Look under STATE if you have that there.
What version is that anyway ?
Under Help/About.

You probably should have installed the newer one right over the older one.
Did you save your license file somewhere ? It must be in the M3 folder.
