Title: Screen is black / almost blank on Mach3 start.
Post by: Shawenterprises on April 13, 2015, 09:08:18 PM

When i start up Mach 3 it immediately goes to a black screen.
i can see the message scrolling to press reset to start the system.
The menus are there too.
When i go to screen sets and load the screen set again it works fine from then on, until i close it and reopen. then we are back to the black screen.

See the link for a picture of said black screen  http://i.imgur.com/ui0vJLa.jpg

Thanks to anyone who can help !

This seemed to happen after i installed this mod to my MPG.

I have attached a zip file of my XML.

I didn't attach the screen set, it does it with all of them.
I am using the blue / silver screen set from the website.

Thanks for all your help Hood., i have tried everything i can think of.

If i cant get it going, is there a way to asign a hotkey like ALT+L to reload the screenset ??

I purchased a Syil X4 Plus from a guy on Kijiji in my town for $3800.

It came with this program Mach 3 installed.

Turns out that it is a pirated copy, I immediately uninstalled it thinking that must be my problem. Reinstalled the newest version off the website ( 500 line trial ). I figure I can try it and see, it still goes to a black screen, and now every 3 or 4 clicks on any button turns the screen black again.

This software is far too buggy for me, I can't be running a program and then have my screen go black on me, someone or the machine could be seriously hurt or damaged.

Thanks for everyone's time, but since I have not been able to fix this I am going to uninstall it completely tomorrow and try a different controller program.
