I installed a licensed version of mach3 for plasma cnc
it installed fine but it did not ask to load the driver for the printer port.
I loaded the program on 3 other computers and had to remove from 2 because they were compromised
and the last one crashed as I was setting up mach3
Is there a computer limit that I may have reached?
the mach3 program works but no driver.
thanks for help

The parallel port driver is not supported in any 64 bit OS or any version of Windows 8.

I put it into a computer with windows 7 32bit I thought
then I loaded the windows 7 32bit disk and still no driver

You may have gotten a bad or incomplete download.

Close Mach, go to the Mach3 folder on your drive and double click Drivertest.exe and let that run. That should install the driver if it wasnt previously.

I did run driver test.exe and it said no driver found
should I wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 32bit again?
-
Have you tried right clicking the installer and running as admin? Same with driver test and Mach its self. Do you have any Anti-virus running on your PCs?

Thanks I ran driver test as administrator and it said a driver loaded
I rebooted and ran test and the driver test screen only shows white screen no little black lines
and the on screen remote doesnt run motors
I loaded road runner and tryed to run and nothing happened no axis movement even on dro
what should be my next step.
thanks so far

Have you read the Mach3 Mill Install and Config. Guide? Not trying to put you off but if your new to Mach and have not read the manual reading it would probably help a lot.
