You guys rock!  After finally getting the wife/kids off to bed, i stripped the computer of Mach3 and all traces of the shuttle driver, before installing the newest lockdown of Mach3 followed by connecting the shuttle. Now everything works like a dream.

Now if you could only get this Vista OS computer that i'm emailing from to stop missing letters when i type, then i would be  VERY VERY grateful indeed!

Thanks guys, i owe you all a pint.

Thanks guys! your suggestions are very much appreciated.  I also spoke to the guy at Routoutcnc and he thinks i should strip my system including Mach3 and do a clean install with the latest version of Mach3.  I will let you know how i get on.

The help is very much appreciated

as i said - complete newbie - not really computer literate, infact, not really any kind of literate! I've had the machine running perfectly well before now, it's just now that i want to add the Shuttle xpress that i'm having problems.

Thanks Hood - i have tried that and still things are messed up.  I'm running Mach3 version R2.0.035 which i bought from Routout about 18 months ago.  Maybe i should get the new version, however, i've just got it running the way i want and i don't want to screw things up.

Hi, i'm a complete newbie to this forum so please take it easy on me! 

My problem is:
when i download and install the plugin for the Shuttle Express everything appears ok until i try to enable the plugin in the config menu.  I get the error code 9991 followed sometimes by 'error stops timer'.  What the heck is going wrong?  Please help as it's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance,
David

p.s - i have no other software installed.
