General Mach Discussion / Troubles with Mach3 install
« on: January 18, 2010, 08:29:36 PM »
Hi,
I've been trying to get Mach3 installed and running correctly on a new pc I bought (Windows 7 64bit).
The Mach3 itself works fine, but the pc didnt have a parallel port, so I had to add one- a PCI card parallel port. I struggled to get the drivers installed, finally got it by turning off the "forced signed digital driver" thing in the boot menu, but now I cannot get the Mach3 Drivertest .exe to run. It tells me " No driver sensed installed, Run Drivertest."
I tried to install the drivers manually as it says in the PDF on Artsoft website, but it doesnt make sense. There is no "Add new hardware" wizard to be found in the system tab.
I installed Mach3 on my older comp running XP, and the drivertest.exe ran just fine.
I really want to use the new comp with Win7 to run my mill, but I dont want anymore frustations either.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why Im having so many problems on the new pc?
Thanks,
Ben W
