I have searched the forum, and not found any info that helps me, this is the closest I got http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,29050.0.html
MDI does not work, when I press enter the input data dissapear and machine dont move. It does not show up in history popup window either.
I run the 2010 screenset, and mach version .066.
Could it be an ebay pendant i tried a while ago, but quit using, that might have messed up some hotkeys or similar. I am really out of ideas here.
I have been away from the machine for a while, and cannot remember when this stopped working, so hard for me to relate it to new version, pendant, 2010 screenset install, hotkeys or similar

Hi Roy,
Try loading a backup .xml (xmlbackups folder) from a time before the problem occurred.
If all else fails re-install Mach3.
It is recommended that you…
1) Backup the following to the desktop, or even better, a USB drive:
XML(Profile) – This stores you’re settings for Mach3, if you lose it you will need to re-setup you’re ports and pins, motor tuning, etc.
Screensets
Macros/Brains
License
2) Download the current version of Mach3 from the Downloads & Update page, v.062 seems to be the preferred version to use and this can be downloaded from here : ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/Mach3/Mach3Version3.043.062.exe (ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/Mach3/Mach3Version3.043.062.exe)
3) Install the downloaded version; allow the install path to default to where Mach3 is installed.
WARNING: If you do not backup the files in Step 1, you will lose ALL settings and configurations.

Thank you Tweakie for the reply, and for the detailed instructions.
First I tried to replace the xml file with the oldest one I had, but that did not help.
I the backed up my settings, and installed v .062, and now it shows v .062 installed, but it kept all my settings, and still nothing,
Maybe I have to uninstall the old Mach 3?
I also found another thing that I am not able to change, and thats the tool change position.
It will not change in the old screenset or the 2010 set...., But I did manage to set it up waaaay back.
Funny stuff

I Made clean install in another directory, and everything works great untill I copy and paste my xml file, so I bet I have this one messed up.
I have attached the file here if you have the time to take a look at it

Hi Roy,
Taking a quick look at your .xml did not reveal a major problem although your motor tuning (velocity and acceleration) does look a bit strange.
Perhaps best to create a new profile and .xml file from scratch (just using the data from your old .xml) that way you will be certain of a non-corrupted file.
Tweakie.
EDIT; forgot to mention MDI does not work for me either when using your .xml

MDI not working happened to me once in a screen set.
Tried a number of things and could not find the problem or get it to work.
I deleted and replaced / copied the MDI from a working screen set using machscreen.
It the worked fine. It was not a corrupted xml, don't know what exactly what created the problem, but it worked fine
after doing that.
