General Mach Discussion / Re: pcie to peripheral adaptor driver

Download the .zip file, extract it to the convenient place, navigate to folder Wndows, then 32bit and execute Setup.exe

hi
The file you gave was already installed, it was the pci multi io controller.
On the screenshot of the old windows you can see I also had a PCIe to peripheral adaptor installed.
Maybe that is what I need, but I can find it online.

i'm sure this is a issue more people have had.

i had to do a clean install of windows 7 (32bit) because of issue's with visual c++ file missing.
i then installed mach3 again.
before i did i took screenshots of the installed programs in control panel.
there were 2 PCI controllers installed
1: PCI multi-io controller
2: PCIe to peripheral adaptor

i'll add some pics of the screens and the hardware of the pc.

issue 1 (fixed): when i opend mach3 the screen flashed 2 times then a black screen and then windows restarted itself.
                       i then installed the PCI multi-io controller and this fixed that issue.

issue2: when i run the driver test from the mach3 folder i get the message "no driver sensed installed".
           if i look at my drivers i see a "mach3 pulseing engine" and under it "unknown device"

below it under other devices:
- PCI serial port
- PCI simple communications controller
both have a yellow exclamation mark


looking at any of the drivers properties, it says no driver installed.
the pc has a parallel port, and it used to run mach3 fine before the clean install.

here is a link to all the screenshots and pic they are too big to upload here.

i'll try and upload some of them as reply

Yes I got that part.
But I wanna make sure
After I
- install the fresh Windows 7 32bit
- reinstall mach3
- place the original mach3 folder back
That mach3 won't work because some settings or services or whatever missing.

Yes I have now windows 7 32bit running.
But If completely removed windows of the pc and do a fresh install of it.
And then place the original copied mach3 folder back.
Will mach3 run fine?
Or are there programs/setting in the background of Windows 7 or mach3 that need to be reconfigured?

General Mach Discussion / installing mach3 under new windows

« on: January 10, 2021, 04:04:14 PM »

hi everyone,

i'm having trouble with on my pc for the cnc plasma table.
problem is not with mach3 but with sheetcam/update for window 7.
my question is if i completly uninstall windows 7 and install a new version of windows 7 on my pc (no internet connection on the pc).
will i be abe to just install mach3 back.
i will be copying the mach3 folder on to a usb stick and place it back after i've installed the new windows 7.
will this work?
or is there more "magic" going on behind the scene in the operating system that i will lose when uninstalling windows?
pc works with a parallel port.

thanks!
