Take a look on the FTP server (Machsupport -> support -> FTP )

Hope that helps

ahhh...  took a little digging but found the profile for the Taig Mill --

big Big but... here guys -

BRIAN ???  -- { I guess three question marks does this - sorry - not mad }

downloaded it and dropped it with the other xml profiles and good, it shows up in the
profile select list --

but when I select and open it I get a blank screen - completely blank -

I loaded it on two different systems and versions -
  84.001 on a new HP system
  90.037 on this Sony system

both version do the same thing - dead blank M3 screen.

Help? 

tnx

If the screen will not load go to View-> Load Screens->1024.set and you should get the standard screen set..
Hope thsat helps

ya it did --

I actually tried that after I'd written -

oddly I have to do that manually if I reboot -

closing and restarting work ok -  but at least I can make it work -

The XML should be saved when you close Mach3 and that will save where the screen set you are using is... So it will not load the screen set when you start the program?

The "Mach3Taig2000.xml" on the FTP server is set for a non-existant screen set "MPS1024D.set".  That may be the proprietary OEM screen set provided by MicroProto when Mach3 is purchased with one of their systems.

As mentioned before, loading "1024.set" will provide a viewable screen... as well as the other screen sets available at the MachSupport download area.
