Thank you all for the replies - I'll try installing on another PC as soon as possible. More than anything though, I'd REALLY like to know what's holding it up.

No antivirus, nor any other programs simultaneously. I'm really puzzled...

I agree but appreciate the help all the same.

I reinstalled it but still won't fully open or run - I chose a profile and the mach3 banner appears but then immediately closes. Does that make any sense to you?

(Again though, thank you so much for taking the time to help me half way across the world! Encounters like this solidify my faith in humanity.)

It runs and appears the pulse rating is excellent at 25khz.

Hood, yes I tried that as well. There's currently no tasks running whatsoever.

I really appreciate you taking the time to notice my S.O.S signal. I just bought this used PC with a clean install of windows XP. It came with Norton Antivirus, and I've already removed that. I reinstalled mach3 but it still closes while opening. There really aren't too many other programs loaded except mach2 which I ran as a test.

Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm very new to Mach3 and am slightly unfamiliar with the nuances of windows XP. Nevertheless, I've tried repeatedly to download then run the Mach3 demo unsuccessfully. The installation goes fine, I restart my computer, open the program, agree to the terms, and select profile, the mach3 'banner' shows briefly, but then closes.

I've relentlessly tried uninstalling and reinstalling mach3. Windows XP is fresh, updated, and at 32bit. What am I missing??? I'm at a loss and would greatly appreciate any direction.  

(For what it matters, I can install and run Mach2 just fine.)
