Mach3 under Vista / Re: Getting up and running in Vista

Help
Running Mach 3 under Vista.
Driving g320s
Bought new computer for this because very jittery on my laptop.
System was working several weeks ago with new desktop.
Just fired it up 2 days ago.
Big problems again.
One axis or another would "servo out" the 320
Had to slow the axis way down from where it had been before to get it to run at all.
Now that I have un coupled the reset lines on the 320s I can see that the problem has bounced around from axis to axis (switching to a new 320 didn't help). Seems to be worse in one direction than in the other (ie I can get it to run faster in one direction than in the other) Also, when I jog two axis at the same time it is worse ( I have to slow it down even more than if only 1 axis is running)
I could hear one motor running choppy yesterday and slowed it down until it didn't servo out.
Then I machined part all evening - worked just fine.
PC stayed on all night. This AM I couldn't even raise the Z axis off the block.
Now X is working poorly - first time for that one !!!!
X & Y set at 8000 pulses per inch Speeds used to run at 200 IPM. Now won't run at 120 IPM.
25000 Kernel speed
Time Int. 3.1 to 7.5
CPU Speed +2310.0000
Pulse Frequency 25000 to 58900
HELP!!
Thanks for the help.
