General Mach Discussion / Win2000 Installation Problem
« on: May 19, 2006, 01:26:45 AM »
At the risk of embarrassment I'll relate my installation trouble in hopes someone can help point me in the right direction. This is the first time I've tried Mach (of any flavour) but hey, there's a first time for everyone - right?
I have a Win2000 Professional Laptop machine (SP4) and a surplus desktop mill (not plugged in yet) and figured " lets give this a whirl. Downloaded Mach2, Mach3 (stable) and Mach 4 (beta). Installed 2, then 3 - because the WEB page suggested they could co-exist. When I ran 3 I was presented with ... "Session profile". I happily selected "Mach3mill" and pressed OK. After getting the splash screen I got "Program Error, Mach3.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program" This happened consistently (ie: every time I tried to run the program).
Tried Mach2 with the same result.
Can anyone suggest what the trouble might be? I'd like to get this working and pass along some $$$ for a license but would also like to see it working first. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks.
