Hello,
I am using Mach 3 version 3.43. When I attempt to open the program it loads and shows the screen set but then turns black and restarts the computer. This machine has worked for 7 years.
Windows 7 with current updates
1024 screen set
recently loaded Teamviewer 14
Can anyone help?

Hi,
Windows 7 with current updates
That is the problem.....recent Windows7 updates from Microsoft have caused a problem with Mach3, or more precisely
Mach's parallel port driver.
There are some recent threads about it.
It seems your choice is to un-wind the offending updates OR move to an external motion controller like a SmoothStepper or UC300.
