Title: Mach3 DriverTest Blue Screen of Death
Post by: annutara on February 10, 2017, 03:31:57 AM
Hi all,

When I attempt to run the Mach3 DriverTest, after the initializing process it goes into take over, freezes at 1s left and then it crashes with a blue screen of death saying Mach3.sys attempted to write to a read-only memory.

How do I solve this problem?

Regards,
Aloysius

Not much help really but my best suggestion is that you try a different PC.

Would reinstalling with windows 8 help?

From my experience Mach3 seems to work best with WinXP.

Assuming you are going to use the parallel port for communication then any OS you choose to use must be 32 bit.
