General Mach Discussion / XP Freezes Up

« on: December 10, 2012, 08:16:40 PM »

I am in need of some help.  I have a new fresh XP Pro SP3 install on a Dell Optiplex 760 (Core 2 Quad 3 GHz, 3G ram).  When I install Mach3 with the parallel port drivers and just have it run through on of the sample programs after a few minutes it freezes up.  I mean that XP freezes and is not responsive to any inputs or anything.  This is the type of freeze that takes holding the power button down for about ten seconds.  Now if I remove the parallel port driver it will run all day long without a problem.  I am running Mach3 R3.043.066, any ideas?

Thanks,
Alan
