Mach3 under Vista / Re: Problem w upgrade from Vista to 7
« on: February 21, 2017, 06:33:29 PM »
Hi Ankit,

from my experience with Windows 7, svchost.exe is a Windows process and it isn't unusual to see several instances running at once. If you're trying to free up your CPU resources, you may need to look elsewhere. You may have to go to Task Manager and stop/unload some programs. I've noticed that the Chrome browser is notorious for using a lot of resources. I don't know if this is helpful.

BTW, my original problem was solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the Mach3 software. Everything started working fine.

Mach3 under Vista / Problem w upgrade from Vista to 7

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded my PC from Vista to Win 7. It's an 11 year old computer, and has been working fine; I just didn't want to wait until Vista's end of life. Now the controller doesn't work. I checked the port and cable using a breakout box, and I get lights, but not from Mach3; in fact, the lights on the diagnostic page don't light up when I try to jog the motors. I ran DriverTest and it doesn't see the port, and won't run. I'm thinking it's a driver problem at this point, but I don't know what to do about it. Any advice?

Thanks.
