General Mach Discussion / Re: wrong activelow

well, today Mach3 is back to not traveling the correct distance on X; Y & Z are fine. The only single thing I did was increase acceleration from 2 to 3, then putting it back to 2 now does not work. No value of feedrate works. So exactly the same values on everything worked fine, now doesn't. X now travels 40% of expected. tried many different values of acceleration and velocity. Strange that Y works ok, when it did not before. I can make Z not travel the correct distance by simply changing velocity or acceleration. Z is consistent on making it travel the correct distance, whereas X and Y are extremely inconsistent, even when having the same values for V and A.
Mach3 crashes/hangups when "Saving Settings" under Configuration.
I tried changing the kernel from 25K to 35K, no change. changed to 60K and now it will not load, have to reboot the PC every time just by trying to start Mach3. I suspect uninstalling and reinstalling will allow Mach3 to run again. Moral of the story is keep the kernel speed low. I have to put Mach3 aside, just cannot get it to travel correct distance. installed/uninstalled countless times, yes I reboot each time. I have disabled every windows component, except for about 8 that are necessary.
