Mach3 under Vista / Hello have a question about Mach 3, Windows 7 and the VCarve program

Hello,

I have Mach 3 and VCarve pro. I recently had to change my computer and I am having a slight problem with VCarve sending the files to Mach 3. On my old computer I had everything working fine, but when I try to send the file from VCarve to Mach 3, it says that it cannot find it.

Mach 3 works fine, I can move the machine and I can manually put in a file and run it. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem before.

I have already called VCarve and they made sure my settings are correct and then said it must be something with Mach 3.

Thank you
Don
