General Mach Discussion / Request for help with software driver test diagnostics
« on: August 06, 2010, 11:12:22 PM »
This is the first time I've posted on a forum, and it looks like I may be doing more. Please pardon my ignorance.
I have 3 computers that I've tried with my milling machine, 2 of which have a clean install. It has to be, the only one that will run the machine is the one that is not a clean install and is my wife's. Which means that she is using my business computer as long as I have her computer attached to the machine. Not a good situation.
I've gone through the tutorial and the Optimization Guide, and tried to find a post that will help without success. I'm hoping someone can help by looking at the screen shots attached of the driver test. To me a picture is worth a 1000 words. At my typing speed that could be an eternity.
Everything seems to be hardware related because I see very little if any change in the test with the different installs. If this is an incorrect assumption, please let me know.
First my wife's computer is about 6 years old with all the original install garbage from the manufacturer. It's a Compaq Celeron and it has all her pet software. The driver test on here computer looks just as good as the one in the tutorial.
Now the computers I have to work with:
The first image is a AMD dual core running XP Pro with a clean install.
The second is a Pentium 4. It has been loaded with XP Pro and XP Pro Standard Mode (per the Optimization Guide) and now XP Home. The pattern is always the same.
See attached screen shots.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.
