Mach3 under Vista / Problem w upgrade from Vista to 7
« on: February 21, 2016, 01:03:49 PM »
Hi everyone,
I just upgraded my PC from Vista to Win 7. It's an 11 year old computer, and has been working fine; I just didn't want to wait until Vista's end of life. Now the controller doesn't work. I checked the port and cable using a breakout box, and I get lights, but not from Mach3; in fact, the lights on the diagnostic page don't light up when I try to jog the motors. I ran DriverTest and it doesn't see the port, and won't run. I'm thinking it's a driver problem at this point, but I don't know what to do about it. Any advice?
Thanks.
