Mach3 under Vista / ERROR STARTING ENGINE
« on: September 02, 2018, 02:56:12 AM »
Newbie, Windows Vista, Mach3 R3.041 (came with the ebay router I got about 4 years ago- first time running it now 
).
Have installed Mach3 and setup using the router configuration sheet. Cannot get any movement out of the parallel port based router. Estop on T-D 3 Axis Contrroller does nothing. Have tried several parallel cables. Have looked at LPT setup in bios and it's the ciorrect address and EPP mode. Thinking about buying a PCI card with another LPT pport.
Have noticed that "error starting engine" is displayed in Status box whenever I restart Mach3. Key to my problem? Have uninstalled and reinstalled Mach3 several times.
Ideas?
