Mach3 under Vista / Mach 3 Migration from XP-32 to Win7-64
« on: December 16, 2015, 04:32:39 PM »
I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.

System: for 4 years I have been running:
  • Windows XP 32-bit
  • Gecko G540
  • USB Smooth Stepper
  • Mach 3 with lots of scripts

About a year ago I attempted an upgrade to a new machine.
  • Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit
  • SSD Storage
  • Gecko G540
  • USB Smooth Stepper
  • Mach 3 with lots of scripts

For the most part, everything works. Except that the spindle crashes into my deck occasionally. I assumed that the problem was an incompatibility with 64-bit.

Well now hard drive crashed on my Windows XP 32-bit system. My most recent plan has been to upgrade to the ESS (network) Smooth Stepper and Mach 4. Converting my VB scripts to LUA is going to be a much larger project than anticipated. I now want to stay with Mach 3 for a while longer.

Do you think my assessment of a 64-bit compatible is accurate?
Was the old version of Mach 3 incompatible with 64-bit?
Do you think using the  ESS (network) Smooth Stepper and downloading the newest Mach 3 will work on my 64-bit system?
