General Mach Discussion / Mach wont save setting changes?

« on: January 02, 2017, 11:48:51 AM »

im having nothing but problems since I got a new laptop.

so in order to solve these issues -

http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,33458.msg233623.html#msg233623

I need to be able to change the settings, but when I change the settings mach doesn't save them.

previous laptop died so got a new one, nothing fancy a dell running W10, installed mach and copied profile across - all pretty standard stuff.

previously when exiting mach it would ask do you want to save setting and tool table, it doesn't anymore. when I change the settings in mach or in ESS config and hit save settings. close mach reopen and nothing has saved.

if I make changes to the tool table, hit save they don't save.

help!!!!

a bit more info

I have a denford triac and denford microrouter side by side. both have separate ess in, I run them both from the same laptop (not together)

the microrouter I don't have any issues with, works just fine. all these issues are just with my triac

been working through the ess guide as posted above but I'm having an issue where mach wont save any settings I change.

so if I change the look ahead and click save settings, restart mach and they haven't saved.

if I change the watchdog to 3.1 and click save, again restart mach and its not saved.

whats going on here?

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 and ESS issues on new laptop

« on: October 19, 2016, 12:53:55 PM »

just purchased myself a brand new dell inspiron laptop, i3 processor, 6gb ram.

my cnc setup is mach3 with ESS.

when running the cnc I keep getting the low data warning and mach stops mid program. am not in the workshop at the moment so cant get a screen print of error.

all I have open on the laptop is mach3, cambam, autocad 2006 and a single internet explorer page. I used to run much more on my old laptop

I never had this issue on my 8 year old laptop, just my brand new one.

please help
