Title: Problem starting Screen4
Post by: cncworks on May 20, 2006, 12:04:29 PM

When I attempt to open any .set file with Screen4, I get as far as choosing a resolution.  Immediately after I choose a resolution (any) a small box appears with a yellow triangle symbol with an exclamation point in it.  Just below that is an OK button.  No matter where I click after that, nothing happens.  Only way to close the program is through ctl-alt-del.  This is on three different computers, one of which is my Mach3 control box.  I can open the .set file with the old screen designer.  I have re-downloaded Screen4 in case of a corrupted file.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Already did, didn't.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I have never had this problem. Is screen 4 in the mach folder?
are the screen sets in the mach folder?

Donn,
I have a working version, the current version that is available for downloading is not working properly.
Benny please verify, because the available Screen for download is not working.

Donn I attached a working version for you.

I downloaded the current version from here http://www.artofcnc.ca/DownLoads.htm as a test and it all seems fine to me.
Did you pull ALL the files from the zipped folder into the mach folder?

Its odd that you say it wont work on any 3 of your computers, because it works fine on both of mine.

I think within 24 hours there will be a new version availiable anyway. I know that Art is currently working on sliders similar to this.

Finally figured it out.  The Screen4.xml file reflected a Mach3 location that was different than my installed one.  Edited it with FrontPage (why couldn't I edit it with the xml editor?) to show my installed directory and I'm good to go.

Thanks for the responses!
