CVI MachStdMill (MSM) / Re: Uninstalling MSM

You stated that MSM kept appearing despite your uninstalling it.

The only logical explanation is that when you open Mach you are using the MSM profile.

I do rembember doing the same thing after de-activating MSM to switch machines.

Out of habit I clicked on the most familiar profile. When I realized my error I simply re-started with Mach's profile.

I have been using MSM on my mill and lathe for approx. 2 years. I am also just getting into Mill Turn.

I must honestly admit I too have had my moments of frustration. However in all but one case, where a legit bug existed,
the errors have been mine.

For the record, MSM does does an outstanding job of overcoming some of Mach's shortcomings while adding sophisticated
capabilities e.g. Master Tooling Mode, Probing etc..

Obviously, in order to accomplish this task, MSM must create some of its own routines and modify some of Mach's routines, hence the WARNINGS.

Like the carpenter, measure three times, cut once. For MSM read the instructions three times, do it once.

MOST IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE YOUR EXISTING MACH PROFILE. MAKE A NEW ONE FOR MSM!!!!!!!!. This is strongly stated in the manual.

As MSM makes changes to the profile, it follows that this profile will not work without MSM any more than a Lathe profile will work on the Mill.

PROVIDING you have a seperate MSM profile, starting Mach with your original (non MSM) profile, totally ignores MSM.

I routinely do this to verify that when something goes screwy, it is not MSM related.

Despite any frustrations I may have suffered (my own fault for the most part), I would't operate my machines without MSM.

I simply offers too many advantages.

As to support, I have frequently used the MSM support board and received the answers I required swiftly and accurately and with much expanded explanations.

It is unfortunate that your experience has been so dis-heartening.
