General Mach Discussion / Lockdown Ver 3.042.018

« on: November 15, 2008, 09:41:25 PM »

Just upgraded from 2.63 to 3.042.018 now that it is in lockdown

The Right hand side screen border is displaced to the left by the width of the border.

i.e. the border is not on the edge of the window but moved inward leaving a window background color strip the same width as the border, outside the border. This overlays the edge of the text etc on the screen.

Tried resizing the screen, and changing the screen resolution - nothing changes it.

Issue is the same in the standard 1024.set and the MachBlue.set on all screens.

Does this problem exist for anyone else? if not, any suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Unstable Pulse rate

« on: October 26, 2008, 08:52:32 PM »

I'm here because could not achieve a stable pulse rate in MACH3.

Intel D101GGC Mainboard with 512Mb DDR400 Ram, 3GHz core Duo CPU.

Pulse rate in both Compatibility test and in Diagnostics varied considerably.

Tried all the XP Optimisation suggestions from the ARTSOFT document including running as a 'Standard PC' - no improvement.

Eventually found post(s) relating to C1E and to RMClock (How_to_run_Mach3_on_a_laptop)

Using the maximal performace mode and setting C1E off using RMClock appear to have resolved the issues.

1. Is there a way to set C1E off permanently so RMClock does not have to be run on start up every time?

2. Is the compatibility test always run at ta fixed 25kHz? - I guess so as it does not change even when the pulse rate is changed in MACH3.

3. Running MACH3 Ver 2.63. Latest manual is for Ver 1.84. Is there a newer manual or an update or anything (presumably there have been changes since Ver 1.84)

Thanks
